Is my rootfs correctly mounted?

[stl]

And another question,
since the kernel is booting with initramfs support,
is it normal that it tries to run /init instead of bin/init or sbin/init

To be more precise, it runs this:

    if (ramdisk_execute_command) {
        run_init_process(ramdisk_execute_command);           <---this
        printk(KERN_WARNING "Failed to execute %s\n",
                ramdisk_execute_command);
    }

instead of this:

    run_init_process("/sbin/init");
    run_init_process("/etc/init");
    run_init_process("/bin/init");
    run_init_process("/bin/sh");

is it normal?

Thanks!
