You shouldn't need it in this case, 'cos nothing involved in booting
is being changed. But for future reference:
mkinitrd {path to initrd} {kernel version}
for example:
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.639.img 2.6.9-1.639
would write a new initrd for use with the 2.6.9-1.639 kernel and
place it in /boot. Of course, this should already exist, so you would
need -f to force an over-write (or better yet, move the original to a
backup location first!!!)
What initrd is and what it does is covered here:
