I just downloaded that file, too. As you say, it is HUGE (133 MB
gzipped).

Unfortunately, it is also incomplete. In particular, it is missing:
	init		(/etc/telinit is a link to init, but no init)
	inetd

I had been hoping to simply build up an initrd image from selected
pieces of it, because I now have the Linux kernel, console, and
initrd-ramdisk up and running on my hardware (Hurrah!). But I'm
having difficulty building a sufficient initrd image to actually use
the network driver I have written (:-(). So far, I cannot even ping
myself using the loopback device (no inetd, I suppose).
