As Marcus said, I'd expect you don't need an initrd with standard images in OE 
for booting from an MMC/SD card.

You can see http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HpIpaqH2200CardBoot for a very 
detailed guide fro booting with Haret.

Summarizing:
Partition the card in two, a vfat one for haret.exe, zImage and startup.txt, 
and an ext2 one in which untarring the root filesystem image.
Startup.txt:
  set KERNEL zImage 
  set MTYPE 341 
  set CMDLINE "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 console=ttyS0,115200n8" 
  bootlinux

Another common method of booting is natively via LAB 
[http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HpIpaqH2200LAB].
