Ho ho. I bit the bullet:

ofhidro[michael]% uname -a
Darwin ofhidro.dcs.gla.ac.uk 6.5 Darwin Kernel Version 6.5: Fri Apr 18 18:24:24
BST 2003; michael:BUILD/obj/RELEASE_PPC  Power Macintosh powerpc

All that just so uname looks different ;) If you are feeling daft enough to try this, then you want this script which lets you have a stable and test kernel and then fiddles the nvram to select which one to boot. This means that if it goes wrong then you can just reset the nvram from the open firmware prompt to get your old kernel back.
