Kernel Panic: no init found

[Aaron Davies <agd12@columbia.edu>]

I've completed the basic installation from the rescue floppy ramdisk,
but when I turn the ramdisk off and tell BootX to boot with /dev/sda5
(my Linux native partition) as root, I get the following error message:

Kernel panic: no init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel.
Rebooting in 180 seconds..

What does this mean and what can I do about it?
