This is fine.

You really should not have had to make this change. What error did you get
before you made the change? In fact this line is not required at all. What
happens if you comment it out?

If it says it is loading init than the root fs is mounted. Something must
be missing from the root disk which prevents it from working.
you need:-
/dev/tty1
/dev/tty2 ?
/dev/tty3 ?
/bin/init
/bin/getty
/bin/login
/bin/sh
/bin/sash
/etc/passwd
/etc/group
/etc/issue ?
The files followed by ? are not absolutely required, but I am not sure what
will happen if they are not there.
