Here's an excerpt from section 4.1 of the newbiedoc, which explains exactly
how to do the avoiding:
"You can avoid the need to worry about initrd by ensuring that you compile
directly into the kernel (not as modules) support for your boot hardware and
root filesystem. If the hard drive you boot from is IDE, compile IDE support
into the kernel. If your root filesystem is Reiserfs be sure Reiserfs
support is built not as modules but directly into the kernel."
