Here is a tutorial on creating bootskins:

Given that you already have the bootskin, and that the BOOTSKIN file is actually just a Zip file with a different extension, it shouldn't be too much drama to unzip the file, extract the BMP, rotate it in Photoshop (but keeping the canvas dimensions 640*480 not 480*640), save, then recreate the archive and rename (assuming of course the progress bar stays in the same place, otherwise you'll need to mod the INI file).
