Ahh, I see, that is different then. How do you keep the kernel from trying to mount a root filesystem (forgive me for asking the obvious, I haven't looked at the details)?
Well for starters, you never use a 'root=/dev/xxxx' in the bootloader command line. If you do that, you're basically overriding the initramfs. If you've got an initramfs, the kernel will by default unpack it and mount it as root. You also don't need to specify init='xxxx', because the kernel by default looks for /init or /sbin/init to continue booting (which would be the init from the initramfs unless you've pointed root somewhere else)
