nothing too wrong there.  the complaining about "ubuntu" is benign.  you
can ignore them, or better just do "sudo su -" and save some keystrokes
while you're in rescue mode.

for the kernel, looks like you're trying to install an older kernel
which isn't in dapper.  try linux-image-686.  wrt your question about
init, you probably want sysvinit.   

also, you can get more info at bootup by editing the boot cmdline before
booting (highlight your kernel and hit e), and then deleting the parts
of the cmdline that contain "quiet" and "splash".
