Sandy,

This is very easy.. I'd wish you'd have read the manual first, but
I'll tell you anyways.

As root:
Edit /etc/lilo.conf with your favorite text editor.
add:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-X.X.XX (replace the X's with the kernel version you
want to access)
label=linux2
read-only
intrid= blah (you only need this line if you have a SCSI hard-drive)

Save /etc/lilo.conf with the changes, quit, and type:
lilo -v
Hopefully everything goes well
When lilo pops up, when you retart your computer:
type linux2 to access your new kernel.

Hope this has been of help.
