IIRC, the kerel parameters are pretty much the same for a 'normal' kernel.

I believe the filesystem can be anything the kernel recognizes (ie
filesystem support built-in).  It can also be a gzipped version of a
filesystem (this is what is typically done).  While minix is a very common
initrd filesystem, there's no reason you can't use ext2, vfat, or something
else...
