Craig,
    With my experience, you should make sure that the FS types included in
your kernel are the same as the FS type that you're using.  The second most
popular reason I've seen for that particular error message, is that your
libs aren't set up correctly.  Don't ask me why, but I think it has someting
to do with the fact that at that point in time, init is being called, or
something like that, and it can't find it's dependant libs.  Check it out by
doing `ldd busybox`.  Good luck.

Subject: [BusyBox] init error message

when I make any alterations to the boot floppy from the web site, I get
an error message that looks like this:

Kernel panic: No init found.  Try passing init= option to the kernel.



to make my changes I am doing :

 mount ./busybox.floppy.img /mnt -o loop -t msdos
 cp /mnt/initrd.gz /tmp
 umount /mnt
 gunzip /tmp/initrd.gz
 mount /tmp/initrd /mnt -o loop -t minix

then I make my changes in /mnt for instance:

busybox-0.51# make PREFIX=/MNT INSTALL

to add in my changes to bb

Then to put it back I:
umount /mnt
gzip -v9 /tmp/initrd
mount ./busybox.floppy.img /mnt -o loop -t msdos
cp /tmp/initrd.gz /mnt
umount /mnt
dd if=busybox.floppy.img of=/dev/fd0

TIA,
Craig
