If your kernel supports reiser4 (and it was not compiled as a module) it should boot to a reiser4 root partition no problem.

However, if you are looking for a conversion utility: none exist. The only way to convert your / partition would be to copy it to another driver, reformat and copy it back. You could do this from one of the live cds that supports reiser4.

The only sure way you can do this is by the backup/format/restore procedure. You can also check out ConvertFS.
