That fails on startup on most kernels! This should be
init -> /bin/busybox
... else the startup code doesn't find init in the initramfs system and
fails ... which usually means the kernel continues it's normal startup
procedure and tries to mount a root partition (here /dev/sda1 = root
device 8,1, which doesn't exist, hence the kernel failure message).
