Did you try calling Ciprico to ask them what they thought?  I suspect your
kernel configuration file is more important at this point in the boot than
the fstab entries.  Do you have the correct "root on xxx, swap on yyy"
entries, for example?

Double check your installation procedure documentation.  If that doesn't
provide an answer with regard to correctly configuring things to boot from
the RF3223, call Ciprico's customer support at 612-559-2034.  They'll be
interested in helping you.
