The initrd file is just a gzipped ext2 filesystem image, so you need to uncompress it into a temporary file and then mount that file using loopback:
zcat /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img >/tmp/fs mkdir /mnt/initrd mount -r -t ext2 -o loop /tmp/fs /mnt/initrd
Then you can look under /mnt/initrd to see the contents of the initial ramdisk.
Its not an image anymore : fs: ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with no CRC)
However it can be extarct using cpio: gunzip < /boot/initrd-version.img |cpio -i --make-directories
Aparently its not as simply copy .ko file into modules.cgz. I have copied the ethernet driver, however it did not get loaded when loadning from pxeboot. Any other steps required?
