You have to look for the "boot.img" file on the Mandrake CD.
Then, do a
mount -o loop path_to/boot.img /mnt/mountpoint
and do a cd /mnt/mountpoint
You can edit the *.msg files from now on
cd /
umount /mnt/mountpoint
You've got the boot.img file updated with the new messages.

PS : do be able to do a mount -o loop, you have to enable it in the
kernel
If you can't/don't want to, you can copy the boot.img file on a real
floppy (dd if=path_to/boot.img of=/dev/fd0), mount it, modify it, umount
it, and then copy back to the boot.img file (dd if=/dev/fd0
of=path_to/boot.img).
You may need to add a blocksize option to dd (bs=2048) but I'm not sure
about the right size to use...
