I don't know exactly how you boot the kernel (floppy?) and what
root-filesystem you plan to use (NFS-root?). I think you have forgotten to set
the root device:

rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/nfs || {
  echo "could not rdev"
  exit 1
}

(I assume, you have the kernel on a floppy /dev/fd0). Maybe you have also
forgotten to compile the kernel with 'kernel level autoconfiguration' AND
'root-filesystem on NFS'.

Ciao Marc
