You can grab just the kernel, but its probably easier just to backup the
whole redboot partition(this is where the kernel is). FYI the first
partition contains the bootrom, the second contains the filesystem, and
the third contains redboot.

So to backup redboot(and your current kernel) run the following command.

dd if=/dev/mtdblock/3 of=redboot.bak
