IMHO (but I haven't used pre-compiled kernels) you can/should do this
if you now it works.

So I'd recommend to add the new kernel for testing there, i.e. add a
line
4:2/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1-alpha-smp ro initrd=/initrd.img-2.6.15-1-alpha-smp root=/dev/sda3
And next time in SRM
boot XXX -fl "i"
and in aboot hit "4". If everything works fine and as expected, you
can move the link (and if you want) remove the generic kernel.
Of course you can move the link immediately, as you can type the
complete string above in aboot as well if it fails (and there is the
ls command to look up the precise name), but given that right now you
can copy and paste, and in aboot you can't, I recommend the above way.
Greetings
Helge
