Making a LILO boot disk isn't that hard.  Neither is booting in rescue
mode and installing the RPM.

As for handling kernel upgrades, IIUC (and I'm sure someone will correct
me if I don't) you could use RPM triggers to run a LILO install script
when the kernel is upgraded, keeping all the extra work within the LILO
rpm.
