-- Copy bzImage into /boot as something, say "vmliuz-2.4test8".

-- Edit /etc/lilo.conf and add lines similar to the following:

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4test8
        label=test8
        read-only
        root=/dev/hda5

-- Make sure that you do not replace the existing descriptions or the
"default" image label.

-- Run "lilo".

Anything else?
