Well, if you use genkernel, it should automatically place the initrd

check your genkernel command to compile the kernel.
Whats wrong with compiling a kernel the normal way ?
emerge gentoo-sources (or whatever flavor you prefer)
cd /usr/src/linux && zcat /proc/config.gz >.config
make oldconfig
make menuconfig
* tweak it to your liking
make install modules modules_install
update your boot loader
umount /boot
exit chroot
reboot
Isn't that covered in the Install guide ?
No on said anything was wrong with with doing it the normal way. ;-)
In fact, genkernel is not really different from "the normal way". It runs
basically the same commands that you would run by hand. Personally, I use it to generate
my initramfs. I'm fully awary that genkernel can be a needless complication for n00bs.
