Longer answer: mkinitrd usually is a shell script specific to a particular
distribution. In Gentoo, creating an initrd is part of the genkernel
ebuild, which provieds a script (genkernel) to build your kernel together
with a matching initrd with one command. OTOH, since I use EVMS2, I've just
taken the example mkinitrd script that comes with EVMS and modified it for
my needs.
In most cases, you don't even need an initrd.
