no expertise here, but a google search showed me were to get the
Redhad initrd package. Next step downloading it. Used alien to
turn it into a deb package, use dpkg to unpack it, adopt for
Redhed and Debian specific file names and look ma... 

$ ncftp .... get mkinitrd-1.8-3.i386.rpm
$ alien mkinitrd-1.8-3.i386.rpm
$ dpkg -x mkinitrd_1.8-4_i386.deb pipo
$ sed -e s:/etc/conf.modules:/etc/modules.conf: pipo/sbin/mkinitrd >mkinitrd
$ rm -r pipo

and there you have it, be carefull, I'm no expert, but to me it looks
as if it could work.

[[ I don't have scsi-hostadapter in my modules.conf, I load the needed
driver by its real name:), so maybe you'll have to change things ]]
