For lilo, you would have something like this (copied from one of my servers):
image=/vmlinuz
label=linux
initrd=/initrd.img
/vmlinuz and /initrd.img are symlinks to the actual kernel and initrd files
in /boot.

I've upgraded most of my servers to sarge with no problems at all - quite
stable with no problems. However, that's just what we decided to do here...
