don't use /linuxrc (which is run with uid 0, so simpleinit chokes saying
"running in userspace") instead specify root=/dev/ram0 and after the intrd is
converted to a ramdisk and mounted it will run /sbin/init, which for me is
alink to the smgl.init script that last thing runs exec /sbin/init, keeping
pid 1 and thus working with simpleinit.
the script is attached.
