I also saw this on a Sun Ultra 2.

Sun Ultra 2 UPA/Sbus (2 x UltraSPARC 200 MHz)
...
loaded kernel version 2.4.26
Loading initial ramdisk ( 1477684 bytes at 0x01x phys, 0x60800000 virt)
...
RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0
Freeing initrd memory: 1443k freed
cramfs: wrong magic
sh-2021: reiserfs_read_super: can not find reiserfs on ramdisk (1,0)
kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
  Press L1-A to return to the boot prom


The 20040511 daily image boots up fine on this system.
