Has anyone tried the install script of late?

I'm currently going with the basic debian installation and the nemo kernel but, alas, it doesn't seem to work since there is no initrd.img in the kernel-adaptation-n900-2.6.37 rpm. Does anyone have a work-around? (I saw earlier in the thread that you don't actually need the ramdisk to boot but it wasn't clear from the post what changes to make in order to do that.)
