kexec should work to test new kernels and initrds safely (just reboot if it goes wrong), but I haven't tried it myself. If it works, you should be able to pass kernel arguments to "boot" into a disk image and keep everything else untouched.

Also, I think this thread belongs to the developer sub-forum since it isn't part of Nickel.
