You shouldn't need it in this case, 'cos nothing involved in booting
is being changed.  But for future reference:

mkinitrd {path to initrd} {kernel version}

for example:

mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.639.img 2.6.9-1.639

would write a new initrd for use with the 2.6.9-1.639 kernel  and
place it in /boot.  Of course, this should already exist, so you would
need -f to force an over-write (or better yet, move the original to a
backup location first!!!)

What initrd is and what it does is covered here:
