[Buildroot] where is the initrd image?

As far as I known there is no support for initrd in buildroot.
And you don't need one for an embedded system!

In desktop distributions, the initrd is used e.g. to load device/filesystem
drivers before mounting the root filesystem (which may reside on a
nonstandard device/filesystem). [1]

In an embedded system, you should include all appropriate drivers in the
kernel itself, so an initrd is useless.
Just compile a proper kernel, and configure grub on your target with e.g.

kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda1

Dear All Guru :

     I can generate the target achi rootfs , and kernel
but I can't find the initrd file

Thus I met the booting problem , VFS cannot open root device "hdxx"

Do I nust have the initrd file , or not ?
If do , how and where to build it ?

Thanks !!

ps: I am using buildroot snapshot , June 23 '07
and the target archi is i386
