I've always suggested using the ramdisk that was used for installation. If that doesn't have everything you need in it, you can create your own by copying the original, and adding to it.
When you've got what you want, you can write the kernel and ramdisk pointers to a different disk than your normal IPL address with zipl. Or, you can use the new s390-tools versions to make it one of the options on your list of kernel/ramdisk pairs at boot time.
