I did init=/bin/sh as you suggested and reported the result to the
list.  Again, the result is:  there is nothing I can do after rootfs
was loaded by kernel.  I can type in characters can see the echo of
what I typed on the screen, but no any other outputs.  Does this has
something to do with my read-only file system type (cramfs)?
