That's exactly what I was talking about when I said "it doesn't seem
like the initrd is recognized as a gzip'ed image, so the kernel attempts
to mount it as FAT which failes, and then UFS which fails..." It may be
that the initrd isn't being recognized at all, and mounting an empty
ramdisk is being attempted?
I dunno. But, at least I'm not crazy ;)
