There is an installation instruction at
http://code.google.com/p/prefetch/wiki/TestingBootPrefetching
This is still Gutsy kernel, but it should work on Hardy.

You can also install Hardy kernel which was prepared by Scott James
Remnant (available at: http://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/prefetch/ ).

Before and after installation please measure boot time and, if
possible create bootcharts for comparison.  Please report results to
prefetch-users at googlegroups.com
