Sure, that is imho the smartest thing to do if you already have
Linux running. I suppose you have more than one disk in use
now, so just put the
  kernel.img, your edited parm file, and the initrd.img
on one of the other disks, mount it over /boot and run the
SuSE silo program to make that disk IPLable. You can then
shutdown SuSE and IPL from the other disk.
Read the part on 'Alternate boot volume' in the ISP/ASP
redbook.
