Not sure. I seem to remember that they're stored in a dedicated partition, and that there's two (maybe three?) different kernels (one for the recovery/update process). But you'd better check yourself

I guess a usbnet shell should be enough to extract the current initramfs, but, yeah, it's probably safer to have a serial console available in case things don't go as planned
