You are right about the whitespace
I had vmlinuz<whitespace><newline> in the entry for KERNEL.  This caused
argv_init array in the kernel code (init/main.c) to have two entries :
"init" and '\0'.

So, if you do not have /sbin/init in your root filesystem, the kernel
will try to start /bin/sh with these two parameters and falls over.

David,
You may want to include the above in the instruction page, if it is
indeed true.
