DOC2000 Boot de-ja-vue

[Bill]

Well, DOC2000 seems happy now kinda. I think my problem is with Linux. Here 
is the end of my boot screen:

blah... blah... blah...
NFTL driver: nftlcore.c $Revision: 1.78 $, nftlmount.c $Revision: 1.21 $
Cannot calculate an NFTL geometry to match size of 0x46840
Using C:1002 H:16 S:18 (== 0x46740 sects)
 nftla: nftla1
NET4: Linux TCP/IP 1.0 for NET4.0
IP Protocols: ICMP, UDP, TCP, IGMP
IP: routing cache hash table of 2048 buckets, 16 Kbytes
TCP: Hash tables configured (established 16384 bind 16384)
NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory 204k freed
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.

It mounts the device fine but then dies. Any ideas?

I have also no idea but the same problem. It seems to me that all the
readme's doesn't work.
There must be some clue, but what?
I would appreciate some help.

Hi
Read last line in the syslog (kernel) messages.
.... No init found ......
Kernel can't found init executable ... default /sbin/init ... on root
volume.
Have you got it there? Or you can pass init=some_executable into your
kernel before bootting (by grub or lilo), where some_executabe can be
/bin/sh for example.

Than I think that kernel can't read root volume at all.
Bootloader read the volume before bootting. Kernel doesn't do it.
