Work through the key steps of the boot process:

lilo loads kernel + initrd
kernel mounts initrd
kernel mounts / ro
kernel runs init
init does setup things (fsck, remount / rw, init scripts)

You're dying when it tries to run init. That could be cause (it can't find
/sbin/init) or it could be effect (it can't mount /, so therefore it can't 
run init). Focus on the three middle steps and work from there....

later,
chris
