It's yaboot.  You add more boot images in /etc/yaboot.conf at the end
of the file.  For example, here are two images from mine:

    default=linux

    image=/boot/vmlinux
            label=linux
            root=/dev/hda14
            append=" hdc=scsi"

    image=/boot/vmlinux-2.4.20-pre5-ben0
            label=bak
            root=/dev/hda14
            #append=" hdc=scsi"

After you change this file, run

    ybin -v

and on the next reboot you will see the changes.

Upon reboot (at the `boot:' prompt) you can then just press enter (and
the image labelled with the string given in the `default' declaration
boots) or press tab (to stop the timer) and type the name of another
image.

How does your /etc/wvdial.conf looks like?  What is printed by the
command

    wvdialconf ~/foo

(issued as root)?  What is the output of lsmod on your system?  What
are the pertinent lines (if any) in /var/log/messages?
