You want to do something similar to this:

###############################
cd boot/loader
zcat initrd > /tmp/INITRD
mkdir /mnt/loop
mount -o loop /tmp/INITRD /mnt/loop
cp info.file /mnt/loop
umount /mnt/loop
gzip -9c /tmp/INITRD > initrd
###############################

SAMPLE ISOLINUX.CFG Entry:

label useinfofile
   kernel linux
   append initrd=initrd acpi=oldboot ramdisk_size=65536 info=file:/info.file


HTH.HAND.
