Getting UML to boot

[Seneca <seneca-cunningham@rogers.com>]

I am trying to get UML from unstable to work on my system, but the
kernel always panics during boot. I managed to get past the first panic
by setting "root=/home/seneca" or "root=/tmp", but now I get:

   Warning: unable to open an initial console
   Kernel panic: No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel.

I have tried passing different init values to the kernel, but each time,
I get the same panic of "No init found", or the kernel freezes.

How would I determine the proper values for UML to work on my system,
without panicking during boot? Attached is the output of an attempt to
boot UML.
