There are certain situations (usually concerning automation and repeatability) where you would like a machine to configure a particular way on boot. A common case is in a system like Emulab where there are potentially hundreds of machines that need to be configured and automated in a very particular way.
The details of how to make such configuration changes can be found by searching docs or forums online ( here is one link with example code).
