Fine. So you can mount the root= filesystem, but=0D it obviously does not
contain all the required files.

No. /etc/fstab has absolutley nothing to= do=0D with  your  problem.  The
kernel  cannot =0D start  the  init  porocess - make sure init is in=0D the
filesystem, plus all required libraries.

This is=0D completley unrelated.

Please contact MV= =0D support. I have no  idea  how  they  package =0D their
