arch/i386/boot/Makefile for 'make install' runs arch/i386/boot/install.sh. This latter script runs /sbin/installkernel or ~/bin/installkernel. You (user) control the latter one (if present). Your distro controls the former one, so I can't say what's in your system's /sbin/installkernel file. In my /sbin/installkernel, I can see that using it with a "-i" option tells it not to generated initrd files. YMMV.
