It looks like you are running, there's no error there.

I would add "init=/bin/bash" to the kernel commandline and eliminate 
problems with init / upstart or whatever then.  You should get a bash 
prompt immediately.

You need a fair amount of goodies in /dev, including things like 
/dev/console and so on.
