The initrd is created when mkinitrd[1] is run as a part of the kernel's 
%post.  Then, the file is moved from /boot by livecd-creator after all 
the packages have been installed

[1] Which then ends up invoking /usr/libexec/mkliveinitrd as a bit of an 
implementation detail, but hopefully we'll be cleaning that up so that 
the initrd infrastructure is a bit better and requires less duplication 
over the next release cycle or so
