The System.map file should be in the base directory ie
/path/to/linux-{version}. The initrd file can be created
using mkinitrd. See the man page for more details. The
easiest way to do it is just to do 'make modules_install &&
make install'.

NOTE: I do not know what kernel you compiled so do not
execute the 'make modules_install && make install' without
first changing the kernel version in /path/to/linux-{version}/Makefile
to something that is not in the /boot directory.
