I'd just like to say that I have resolved the conflict. Although
everything appeared to be in order (devices made, kernel has support for
everything, root= and initrd= in the right place, etc), it seems that it had
something to do with the libraries that init wanted. I did an ldd on init and
put the libraries it wanted into /lib on the initrd, but it never did work. I
ended up using a color.gz rootdisk from the slackware distro and modifying
that. (good ol' slackware... :)
Thanks for the suggestions
