    | Why do I need this for a moduleless kernel?

    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.
