RE: How can I boot from a root filesystem (maybe squashfs or dd image)?
Looking at the boot screen again, he's using a Hyper-V Gen 2 VM; that VM is booting from a Hyper-V EFI BIOS.

I've run into the issue many times with many Distros. Even newer PC BIOS kernels can experience the issue if you do not explicitly specify initrd=initrd.img

The VFS message means the vmlinuz kernel can't find the initrd.
"Thus far, you have been adrift within the sheltered harbor of my patience..."
