The installer prepares an initrd if it's needed (ie SCSI drive). In the
case of Reiser, as I said, it's untested on PPC, so I'm not sure what
will happen.
Just as an aside, unless the endian safe Reiser stuff has made it into
official kernel tree, each time the kernel is updated, PPC Reiser gets
broken and has to be reworked. So if you want Reiser and the latest
bleeding edge kernel, be prepared to rework patches.
