You will have to ungzip the boot image and mount it on a loopback device. You then should swap the kernel images and you will probably have to run lilo on the image (with the lilo.conf on the loopback device). Then you can umount the loopback device and gzip the image again. You should be set. This was a pretty adhoc summary, but I believe they follow the BOOTDISK HOWTO pretty closely on that part.
