The kernel will not even include your initramfs if that's a null string.
If you want to boot from initramfs, that should be the path of either a
folder to create a cpio archive from, or a cpio archive.

the ones I create for my desktop systems have /init, which is an
ash(busybox) script that simply sets up lvm2, mounts and then does a
switch_root.
my ts7250 boots either from flash or nfs, and doesn't need an initramfs.
It uses /sbin/init which processes the corresponding /etc/inittab

I created my own, see the tinygentoo and crossdev howtos at gentoo-wiki.com
