If you don't want to use NSS (for example because it is unsupported) then you could consider to take a small mini disk to mount at /lib/modules and also put the kernel on it so you can IPL that one to get your favorite kernel. The bad news is that you also need to keep the kernel command line the same, so you must standardize on the virtual disk addresses to use. Also, the boot process typically wants to write into that area so you may need to play with --bind mounts to create some write space inside again. It gets hairy. We have gone that way for our servers because I believe in not having serviceable parts inside (I can upgrade the kernel by simple system wide switches). I am considering to use the xip2fs to pack the kernel modules in a DCSS that goes with the NSS.
