A couple of things look a little amiss here.....

This isn't big enough to be a valid ram disk. Something happened
when you created it, it doesn't have enough "stuff" in it.

...and it also looks like you have IP autoconfiguration selected.
It has precedence over the ram disk because it is then going to
look for an NFS root (see below). You either need 'ip=off' in
the kernel arguments (for testing) or remove this part of the
configuration.

....and then it finally bails out because the ram disk isn't valid
and you don't have root NFS configured so it doesn't find an NFS server.
