A bit of a weird question, but maybe I do not understand where it is coming from. Some context might help. The hard drives are likely connected to a harddisk controller of some sort and that controller is somehow hooked up in your system. Your kernel needs a driver for the controller. It is 'convenient' to have that driver built in your kernel for the hard drive containing the root file system. Gr.
