USB device bootable kernel

[SkyWolf]

I need to compile a USB device(floppy) bootable kernel for a fresh slack installation on my sexy N505VE laptop.

However, by following all the intructions I could on google. the kernel I compiled still doesn't boot correctly.

I have
SCSI emulation
SCSI support
UHCI support
Preliminary USB device filesystem
USB Mass Storage support
compiled into kernel

Such kernel could recognize the USB floppy drive by specifying root=/dev/sda

But then after mounting root=/dev/sda, it gives an warning says 'Warning: unable to open an initial console' then 'Kernel panic: No init found'

I think I am getting close to boot up the laptop via a USB device.
Could anybody give some guidance please?

Thank you

Did you try /dev/sda1? Might also give /dev/hda a whirl.
