Following the indications of http://tldp.org/LDP/Pocket-Linux-Guide/html/x185.html I've copied grub, bash and the compiled kernel in 2 floppy disks (in a pendrive too).
Executing from grub:

kernel (fd0)/boot/vmlinuz rw init=/bin/sh root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=1

Using the 2 floppies I get "Kernel panic non syncing ..."
While using the pendrive if I write sdd instead of fd0 grub doesn't recognize it. Any idea?
 
I don't think sdd is enough. Try specify the partition number
(i.e. sdd0, sdd1)

Cheers

Life is what happens when you are making other plans.
 
Resolved! Just missing modules in the kernel ...
