Tim,
mkinitrd is just a shell script so you can view it. At the top, it
sources files in /etc/sysconfig/mkinitrd/ and it appears that if you
define "MODULES=foobar", it will include foobar in the initrd. It sets
$CONFMODS to $MODULES and lower in the script it runs findmodule against
each module listed in $CONFMODS.
I've not tested this, but it appears it would work.
