Line 20 as of above is definitely wrong. Either you create an initrd
for your kernel version or (which is probably the simpler thing) is 
compile all drivers statically into kernel which are necessary to
mount / (the root filesystem), i.e. usually the IDE or SCSI driver 
and the filesystem driver (ext2, ext3, or whatever) and delete line 
20 from above.
