Imagine a situation where due to whatever reason the kernel image of
your router machine gets corrupted, then you can just copy the file from

Or if you need to change your hardware. Or if you want to use your drive to boot another machine - such as for testing or demonstration purposes.

Having a portable kernel is a lot simpler than trying to rescue a non-bootable machine from a live CD.
