I adapted initramfs-tools package from debian. I tested simple case boot
(/ on /dev/hda2, udev, most modules on initramfs).
I would appreciate if other devilopers could test other cases (lvm,
cryptroot, dmraid, mdadm), all required packages have initramfs support
added via -initramfs subpackage.
In short - you need to install initramfs-tools, udev-initramfs and
appropriate -initramfs add-ons, then do:
mkinitramfs -o /boot/initramfs.cpio.gz <kernel version>
and edit your bootloader config (root=<dev> option must be present!).

If you find problems please speak here, or just fix them in cvs.
