Matt already answered you with information for the initrd.bin that he
built - but in case you were referring to my modified crow+debian ROM
that uses a root FS on an SD disk instead, here's some info on that one:

    http://www.w-m-p.com/software/pocketworkstation/crow+deb-rom-20030303.zip

Briefly, I just took the Crow ROM, mounted it using loopback mount:

    mount initrd.bin /mnt/tmp -t cramfs -o loop

Then I copied the contents of /mnt/tmp, made the changes I needed, and
used mkcramfs to pack them into a cramfs again.
