Had to do a little testing before I responded.  This would be a way:

tmpdir=$(mktemp -d)
 cd $tmpdir
cp /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-27-386 source.gz
gunzip source
cpio -i --file=source -r *framebuffer *usplash init
# Rename them whatever you want, make it easy to grep, maybe 
framebuffer.scr usplash.scr and init.scr
# Assume extension 'scr' for the following line
grep break *.scr

Once you know which script(s) refers to it, examine that script to see 
what it does.

cpio isn't the most flexible or intuitive program I've encountered.
