Hi again,
making the initrd involve running mkinitrd or mkinitramfs. Not sure about Debian, but Ubuntu uses mkinitramfs, I would expect the same.
Before that you should be adding drivers for the virtual environment. You will probably need pcnet32 or e1000 for network and mptbase,mptscsih,mptspi for LSI Logic. Probably defined in initramfs.conf (or modprobe.conf or something else? depends on distro).
It is not trivial, search in Debian forums what is needed to run in VMware virtual environment.
Check whether your machine uses paravirtual kernel. If it does, you should replace it. There was a guide for that - google for "Converting XEN" and "Marcelo Soares"
