Of course, in older releases you can find also a smaller lynx 2.6,
without NNTP support. Originally, indeed, lynx was on the first floppy
disk.

"Compressed image ..." means that a good gzipped image is found
a the provided block. It also mount fine ( "mounted root EXT2 ..." ).
So, why the error?
Maybe, you removed some file from root.gz, such "linuxrc" ? In muLinux
/linuxrc is a symlinks to /setup/rc/linuxrc (in order to keep all
in single place). Check this file!
Furthmore, check your /etc/inittab:
id:4:initdefault:
r:S:sysinit:/etc/rc/4
... etc ..
Did you remove some /etc/rc/* script? Ehm, they are symlinked in
/setup/rc and, probabily, you completely removed the directory /setup
because not useful for your purpose.
