kernel problem: Booting with initrd and init fails

[Goswin Brederlow <goswin.brederlow@student.uni-tuebingen.de>]

I have the following entry in my syslinux.cfg:

LABEL demo
        APPEND vga=0x791 load_ramdisk=1 initrd=root.bin init=/bin/ash
        KERNEL linux

That should load a ramdisk during boot but startx /bin/ash instead of
/sbin/init or /linuxrc. Instead it will startx /linuxrc and if that
and /sbin/init are missing it tries to remount / as specified in the
kernel.

Does anyone know if thats normal behaviour or just some unthpught
collision of boot parameters?

May the Source be with you.
