update-initramfs -u -k <kernel-version> should do that (if the missing 
modules are included in the modules package for your kernel).

Add the missing modules to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules in case they are 
not added with the default configuration.

You'll need to run that on another m68k system perhaps (update-initramfs 
and mkinitramfs are both shell scripts, but I doubt this will work on a 
different system).
