I assume you mean taking a livecd and packing it into a initramfs. I
would suggest you read this guide:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-initrd.html

RDSIZE will have to be substantially larger though, large enough to
fit whatever your putting into the image. Ubuntu Karmic netinstall is
about 12Mb [1] so 13000 might be appropriate, iirc initramfs cannot
exceed 16Mb (if this isn't true let me know :D).  Some hackery of the
"init" script will likely be required.
