Hmmm... something funny here. Can you provide your inittab?

I'm puzzled. Usually you don't have init *and* testsh launching from
boot.lst. It would work after a fashion, though.

Anyway, you're saying that init successfully connected to fs/root (which is
the connect right before the call to read_inittab()), which means your DOS
filesystem is on-line. Is there any chance that the filesystem it's opening
is the right one? Do you have more than one DOS filesystem around?
