This would be especially useful when the install floppies have been customized to make it possible for them to work on particular hardware. I built a 3.3-STABLE release the other day in order to create install floppies with the aic driver on them. But if they are used to install a standard release or snap, the aic driver won't be in the installed kernel, as I understand it.
