Same here, with 2.6.18 from vanilla source), and as a
mysterious mount point for /dev/root:
root@/# df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1              2885780     79932   2659260   3% /
tmpfs                   517824         0    517824   0% /lib/init/rw
udev                     10240        80     10160   1% /dev
tmpfs                   517824         0    517824   0% /dev/shm
/dev/root              2885780     79932   2659260   3% /dev/.static/dev

It appears that /lib/init/rw is created by line 30 in
/etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh:
touch /lib/init/rw/.ramfs

And now I'm out beyond my depth.
