The initrd is 3MB uncompressed. I require a few utilities (bash, echo, mount, tar, and umount).
Some of the stuff is probably implemented in busybox, which is a lot smaller than bash, mount, umount,... Also, using dietlibc or uclibc might give you quite a win. Static binaries compiled with those are often smaller than dynamic glibc binaries.
