Okay, I was concentrating on the bio too big device loop0 message.
Maybe a bug in busybox or the kernel:

The above is the cached, text-only, google link, busybox.org seems to be
down or extremely slow.
Are you running a 2.4 or 2.6 kernel?
% uname -r
2.6.14-1.1644_FC4
% uname -p
x86_64
I went and downloaded a newer version of busybox, rebuilt it from
source, and installed it in my initrd. I also bit-the-bullet and got rid
of nash from that image. Seems to be behaving a little better. Now I get
as far as mountint the iso, and the pivot_root command seems to be
screwing up on me. My last line in my linuxrc file is msh, so that I can
have some interactivity.
mount shows:
/dev/hda2 on /dos type vfat (rw,noatime, )
/dev/loop0 on /sysroot type iso9660 (ro)
/proc on /sysroot/proc type proc (rw,nodiratime)
when I go:
busybox pivot_root /sysroot /sysroot/initrd
I get:
pivot_root: pivot_root: invalid argument
but I can at least SEE the image
