I do not know the cause of the problem. However, there should be no need 
for an initrd. MiniMyth <http://linpvr.org/minimyth> can diskless boot 
with an NFS root partition and no initrd. The /proc related part of the 
init script for MiniMyth is:

# Create /proc.
/bin/mkdir -p /proc
/bin/mount -n -t proc  /proc /proc
