#  (/linuxrc as given in rescue.img.
#  cat /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev is right for my
#  for my umsdos root filesystem's device.)
insmod /modules/fat.o         #  Required for (u)msdos.
insmod /modules/msdos.o   #  Required for umsdos.
insmod /modules/umsdos.o #  For (re)booting into my
                                                 umsdos root filesystem.
exit                                       #  Let the (re)boot begin.
VFS:  (it's an msdos filesystem.)
kernel panic:  Can't find init.

Well, of course it can't find init.  It called my root filesystem
msdos, rather than umsdos, and "promotion" didn't occur.
How can I make this thing boot a umsdos root filesystem?
