The easiest way is to open /etc/lilo.conf in your favorite editor.  Then
copy the three or four lines that reference your current kernel.  Rename
the kernel image name, and tag name with something different.  Then
save, exit, and run lilo.  If all goes well, you will be able to reboot
and enter that new tag name and boot away.
