[BusyBox] Attempted to kill init...

I'm trying to setup a bootdisk to boot multiple machine types, and mount an 
NFS share and perform a script on that share.  Unfortunately, when I compile 
busybox (using uClibc-0.9.8.tar.gz) it seems to run fine on the machine that 
it was compiled on, however, it fails when I try and boot the machine from 
the newly created initrd.img.

I performed an ldd (using the one that comes with uClibc) and copied all of 
the referrenced library files (and the files that they in turn referrenced) 
into /lib on the initrd.img.

When I created the initrd.img, I needed more space than available in the 
example bootdisk, so I created a new file system, and copied in all of the 
files from the example initrd.gz included with the example bootdisk on 
busybox.net/downloads.  I then run:

./install.sh /root/Desktop/image/initrd 

to copy out the newly created files for busybox.  I then re-compress the 
initrd.img file, and put it in my bootdisk.  The exact error message I 
recieve is:

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

Needless to say, I am passing init= in the syslinux.cfg file.  Any ideas / 
suggestions?  I'm really in a pinch here, any help would be greatly 
appreciated! ;)

Thanks,

Andy Kruta
