Not to my knowledge.

Well, what I did is to boot from a non-RAIDed drive (IDE or SCSI) and then
use the array for /usr, /var, /home, /archive, etc.

Should be easy enough.  You can mount the /dev/fd0 to /mnt/floppy and
you'll be able to just overwrite the existing kernel with the new one, put
in an initrd if necessary, make changes to /mnt/floppy/etc/lilo.conf as
necessary.  Problem is, I don't know how to 'LILO-ize' the boot floppy
with the new kernel.  There is an option to lilo which will do this (-C I
think) but...I haven't been successful.

If you can figure it out, let us know!
