Creating a target initrd


I've successfully built a custom patched version of a Linux v3.4
kernel, creating a  zimage, using ct-Ng 1.16.0 on an amd64 host for an
Intel iop32 (armeabi) target. The target has a Redboot bootloader.

I now need to create a corresponding initrd.gz from the built target
kernel which I can copy across to the target flash. The debian
installer then is launched by issuing a Redboot 'exec' command at the
target console.

Is there a facility or option in ct-Ng to have the host build an
initrd for my custom kernel?

If not, I'd be grateful for any suggestions how else it should be
done? All of information I've been able to find relates to building
initrd for the host not the target.

Chris
