That looks more or less ok. Your partioning is unconvential but not incorrect.
Try something for me. Unplug all external storage devices and reboot the computer. Completely reboot, make sure you go through the whole POST process. Verifying that your USB devices are unplugged is very important before the reboot. The conf you showed should work, so if your internal drive still gives the error that tells us what to do next. Let me know if you get the same "no init found" error when rebooting with just the internal HDD.
