My lilo.conf refers to kernels as eg /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16, and
thus I can't break booting the already installed kernels (except
if I recompiled an alread installed version). I don't see why
this would not work for you.
With boot loaders that can read the FS (silo, afaik grub) you
can even let the default config be and can boot the kernels in
/boot manually in case it does not work otherwise.
Don't see your problem.
ciao, 2ri
