Not likely to happen during installation, but if you use udev, the
device nodes may not exist in your backups (depending upon how you do
your backups...). So a restore of a backup of your root filesystem
from a crash recovery or live CD may not restore any device nodes to
your root

You're pointing the kernel to hdb1 as the system root partition. I bet

That warning, yes.
But the error right after that means what it says: No init found, ie. it

From that, one can deduce the OP probably pointed the kernel to

It can be called anything, but the file name you give it in /boot, of
course, has to be the one you call out in the grub.conf line. So, you copy
(for instance) arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot/kernel-kernelversion (I
usually also copy .config to /boot/config-kernelversion).
