My Amiga 4000 has 12 MiB of RAM at physical address 0x07400000 (virtual 0x00000000). The initrd is located at the end of RAM: 0x00b78000 - 0x00c00000 (virtual). The overwrite test compares the (virtual) initrd location to the (physical) first available memory location, which fails. This patch converts initrd_start to a page frame number, so it can safely be compared with min_low_pfn. Before the introduction of discontiguous memory support on m68k (12d810c1b8c2b913d48e629e2b5c01d105029839), min_low_pfn was just left untouched by the m68k-specific code (zero, I guess), and everything worked fine.
