Installation problem on 0.7.2 (busybox.......)

I've downloaded arch 0.7.2

Mounting /dev/root on /new_root failed: No such device or address.
pivot_root: No such file or directory
umount: /initrd: No such file or directory
/linuxrc: 487: /sbin/busybox not found
Freeing unused kernel memory 244 k freed

BusyBox v1.01
Enter 'help' for ...

/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off.

I tried the iso made by topwa but cant'boot....... now I'm on-line with ubuntu :cry:

0.7.2 iso use mkinicpio 

and.....

root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/hda2 ro
initrd /boot/initrd26.img

then you must use kernel.26.img not initrd.img

and I mean If you have an extra /boot you must use

kernel vmlinuz26 root=/dev/hda2 ro

not

kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/hda2 ro
