Other Help Topics :: USB Boot Woes

Alright, I've been trying to boot DSL from my usb storage device. I am using the runt boot image, as I have had the most success with it. Currently during boot it recognizes my storage device, sees the kernel, mounts the filesystem, and then I get this:

VFS: Mounted root umsdos filesystem
Trying to move old root to /initrd...Failed
Unmounting old root
Trying to free ramdisk memory...ok
Freeing unused kernel memory: 120k freed
Warning: unable to open initial console
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init=option to kernel

My bootline in syslinux is as follows:
boot: usb root=/dev/sda1 rw -s

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to correct this issue? Any help is much appreciated
