[gentoo-embedded] TinyGentoo Boot Issue

["Chad Files" <cpfiles@gmail.com>]

I have been trying, in vain, for several days to get TinyGentoo to
boot from a USB drive. I have followed all of the instructions (twice)
and cannot get past a kernel panic issue that I am having.

Here is the issue...Grub comes up just like it should, the initramfs
gets into memory and the boot starts. There are several checks that
take place then the kernel load is attempted. This is where everything
falls apart...the kernel panics.

I get something to the affect of...

VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block (0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)

I have searched around and here is what I have tried...
* Add root (0,0) line to grub conf
* Add root= parameter to the kernel line in grub conf (both /dev/sda1
and /dev/ram0)
* Add a mount delay to the kernel line in grub conf
* Rebuilt the kernel according to the instructions (for good measure)

Any help would be appreciated.
