The basic procedure is the same:
1 - mount a loopback file system
2 - duplicate the necessary directory structure for the needed modules
in the loopback file system
3 - gzip that file system into initrd-<blah>.gz
4 - copy the initrd somewhere (/boot, a floppy, etcetera)
5 - unmount the loopback file system
The implmentation varies, but this is the procedure seen from 20,000
feet.
