You only need an initrd if you are BOOTING off of the SCSI disk, and you
don't compile it into the kernel. If you are booting off of SCSI, and
compiling your own kernel, I don't know why you wouldn't build it in!
The initrd is mainly when you use the stock kernel and are booting off
of a SCSI drive.
