RH 9: Boot into BOOT kernel

Hi,

I am using RH 9.  I want to compile modules under the BOOT kernel.  How do I 
boot into the BOOT kernel?  With RH 7.1, I just installed the kernel-BOOT 
RPM and edited my /etc/lilo.conf.  That won't work with RH 9.

My current /etc/lilo.conf looks like this:

prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
linear
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-6
	label=linux-up
	initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.20-6.img
	read-only
	append="root=LABEL=/"


The file /boot/initrd-2.4.20-6BOOT.img does not exist, so I can't add a 
section for the BOOT kernel like I used to.

Thanks!
