[oe] Where is my root fs?

I've built an i586-generic/minimal console image and can boot this by  
passing the following kernel options:

bzImage initrd=initrd.gz ramdisk_size=100000 root=/dev/ram1 init=/sbin/ 
init

However, if I build an alix/minimal console image and boot using the  
same options, then I get a kernel panic saying that root couldn't be  
mounted.

The initrd has a /dev/ram0 device node, so why does the boot fail? I'm  
assuming it gets loaded under a different device, but I can I find out  
what it is?
