assuming you're using grub, edit /boot/grub/grub.conf the changes take effect without having to do anything else. if you're not familiar with editing files on console, try using nano or pico, as they are very simple and friendly. of course, you *should* learn vi...

If you are using Suse it's better to go through YaST. It's a bit more difficult to edit through an editor.
