Does your ramdisk image fit in the space you told the kernel to allocate for 
ramdisks?

Well, that's progress anyway.

I dunno what "Bummer, c?" means.

Could you try booting with rdinit=/bin/sh (or wherever your shell is in the 
ramdisk) and poke around in your ramdisk a bit to make sure 
that /etc/password is there with the right permissions and all that?

The next step after that is to throw printf() statements into init and login 
to see what they're doing. :)
