That particular panic happens whenever the kernel can be located by the bootloader, but the kernel cannot locate /sbin/init for any reason, such as a missing "a" partition.

To recreate, delete your "a" partition from your disklabel, reboot, and give the bootloader the location of a kernel residing on another partition. The kernel will look for the "a" partition, not find it, and panic.
