...but a HDD normally contains partitions (which contain filesystems).
You've told linux to search the filesystem on your harddisk, but not
within a partition. That should read like "root=/dev/hda1" or
"root=/dev/hda2" or the like...

Of course - the kernel was unable to find the filesystem (because
you've told to look for it at the wrong place) so there simply
was no chance to find init:-)
