[Peeweelinux] Init Problem

[James D. Bearden]

Hello All, 

I am starting out in the wonderful world of Peewee Linux and I have run into 
a problem.
I am investigating peewee due to performance reasons, not disk space. More 
details are
available at http://james.nontrivial.org/projcitr.htm but basically it is a 
386 with 16
Megabytes of RAM. I pretty much chose the simplest peewee setup I couldn 
find with the
read only and many ramdisks option. 

While I'm not a complete linux newbie, I really don't know much about the 
finer points of
the boot process. So, I don't know if the root file system did not get 
mounted successfully,
or else it did and for some reason there isn't an init. At any rate, I get a 
kernel panic about
not being able to finid init. I am extemely inexperienced, but everything 
before that seemed
to go swimmingly except for two errors: 

   tcsetpsrp: Inappropriate ioctl for device
   change_root: old root has dcount=1 

If somebody could throw me a bone before I spend all weekend on this I would 
greatly
appreciate it. :-) Bonus points are available for telling me how to specify 
a 80x25 console
verses the default 80x30 console. Maybe a kernel option?
