Using KDM, you can reboot your system and decide which image in GRUB or LILO you want the system to restart with. I've been all over kdmrc, the man pages for shutdown, init, and reboot, and can't figure out how to do this from the command line. Does anyone have any insights?
 
Here's the answer: /sbin/lilo -R <label name>
i.e. /sbin/lilo -R linux-2.4-custom && reboot
