You loaded the d-i ramdisk with tftpboot, which loads the ramdisk in a
different way to the way it's done when the Kurobox starts normally.
(ftpboot loads a ramdisk, the normal boot process simply specifies
mtdX as the root device.). So I don't see how you can assume it would
work in the other case.
Did you test this patch? Why don't you write the ramdisk to mtdX and
see what happens?
