Nope, you are seeing exactly what I would have expected. You have verified a lot of functionality. Your kernel boots, mounts a root file system, and executes your init command. So that's a big step. Now you need to sort out your sysV init stuff. You can actually do a lot from that simple shell. See below.
init does _lots_ of stuff on first boot, including mounting /proc and /sys. On modern systems the /dev directory is populated dynamically as devices are discovered. This is done by udev on a sysV system. While I haven't looked into the details in anything modern ;), there used to be just a tiny subset of static /dev nodes before udev took over. Don't know how it exactly works today. But it doesn't matter, when you get it working, it will all "Just Work" ;) To get proc and sys, do this: # mount -t proc /proc /proc # mount -t sysfs /sys /sys (Note to the experts: I know one of those parameters is superfluous, but it displays nicely on mount command so I do it that way.) Now that you have /proc and /sys, you can start executing the same commands your init system would have done. Typically that comes from /etc/inittab, and usually involves running something like a rc script with runlevel set to 'S' at first. Take a look at inittab to see what it's supposed to do. All of your sysV init scripts (and the symlinks which define which scripts get run upon entry/exit of a runlevel) should be found in /etc/init.d/* if memory serves. Haven't played with a sysV system in a while ;) Even just try running /sbin/init and see what happens. Obviously something in your setup is messed up.
