Check the list archives..

Simple answer though, you don't have a valid filesystem.  Init not found may be
read as "init could not be found or properly executed."

(BTW from you CC, you list the name of this list as "Linux Monta Vista".. this
list has nothing to do with MontaVista, it's a community list..... and
MontaVista is one word.. <grin>)

hi Craig
I do have the /sbin/init file in my harddisk. what i performed is manally i
partitioned the harddisk into 3 , runned mkfs.ext2 then tune2fs on the
/dev/hda1 partition. copied all utilties from ppc directory(target) like
etc,bin,sbin... into /dev/hda1. configured the kernel to mount from harddisk.
still i don't know what is the problem.
thanking you.
franklin.

You also need to ensure that all libraries required by /sbin/init are also
provided.  Use the "ldd" (or objdump -p /sbin/init | grep NEEDED) to get a list
of all libraries required to be on your ram disk.  (In addition to the libraries
make sure you have ld.so.. that is the dynamic loader.)
