[pocket-linux] Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel

[peter robinson]

Hi,

After compiling the kernel and creating the boot and root disk as per the 
instuctions in the latest Pocket Linux, I get the error message

Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel

Even though I had entered

boot: bootdisk init=/bin/sh

bash is installed as described on the rootdisk, and there there is a symlink 
to bash. I also tried boot: bootdisk init=/bin/bash with the same results.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot,

Peter
