Antony,
i do it the whole generation of a CDROM with a script, so I don't have
to remember all this stuff ;-)
Here is the relevant part of it:
# where the needed modules are
modules=../download/Bering_1.0-rc3_modules_2.4.18.tar.gz
# modules needed during boot
#
initrd_mods="
./modules/drivers/cdrom/cdrom.o \
./modules/drivers/ide/ide-mod.o \
./modules/drivers/ide/ide-cd.o \
./modules/drivers/ide/ide-probe-mod.o \
./modules/fs/isofs/isofs.o"
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# create and clean directories
#
mkdir -p $tmp
mkdir -p $tmp/diskcontent
rm -rf $tmp/diskcontent
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# create mount points
#
mkdir -p $tmp/mnt/image
mkdir -p $tmp/mnt/initrd
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# mount the floppy image
#
mount -t msdos $img $tmp/mnt/image -o loop -o ro
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# unpack initrd and mount it,
#
echo "Unpacking: initrd"
cp $tmp/mnt/image/initrd.lrp $tmp/diskcontent
gunzip -S .lrp $tmp/diskcontent/initrd.lrp
mount -t minix $tmp/diskcontent/initrd $tmp/mnt/initrd -o loop
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# unpack needed modules into $tmp
echo "Unpacking: modules"
cat $modules | (cd $tmp; tar zxf -)
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# copy modules needed during boot to initrd (at least cdrom & ide),
# and add names (without .o) to /boot/etc/module
#
echo -n "Initrd modules:"
for mod in $initrd_mods; do
m=`basename $mod | sed -e 's/\.o$//'`
echo -n " $m"
(cd $tmp; cp $mod $tmp/mnt/initrd/boot/lib/modules)
echo $m >> $tmp/mnt/initrd/boot/etc/modules
done
echo ""
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# umount initrd and pack it
#
echo -n " initrd"
umount $tmp/mnt/initrd
gzip -S .lrp $tmp/diskcontent/initrd
echo ""
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# umount image
umount $tmp/mnt/image
