if you look at the bootcd text message it tells you how to extract the
kernel from there, its a good safe fallback for when you have
troublesome hardware.. I know I had a NIC that didn't build properly (as
in, it didnt take the driver I thought it should take)  so i fell back
to that and removed unnecessary things...   To make that the default
would be counterproductive in many cases.

and, the defaults depend on what kernel you use. theres a lot of sources
in our tree, and we keep instructions for the "lowest common
denominator" which would be the vanilla tree.
