This is a completely different error from "VFS: Cannot open root device" or "unable to mount root".
Are you sure you have a "/sbin" directory with an *executable* "init" file on the usb harddrive?
Does your init file depend on libraries that you do not have under "/lib"? (you can check with "ldd init")
If your init is a script, does it specify a complete path to the interpreter, and do you have an *executable* interpreter there? Does the interpreter require libraries or is it static?
I hope this helps,
