Using the UL and LI you can't.  UL has a TYPE atribute for changing the
style of bullet (disc, square, circle) but nothing like a SRC attribute for
images.

You can accomplish the same thing with a 2 column table, placing the images
in the first column and the text in the second (you don't strictly need the
table, but the text won't wrap nicely otherwise).  SOmething liek this:

  <TABLE>
  <TR VALIGN="TOP">
    <TD><IMG SRC="bullet.gif" ALT=""></TD><TD>Point #1</TD>
  </TR>
  <TR VALIGN="TOP">
    <TD><IMG SRC="bullet.gif" ALT=""></TD><TD>Point #2</TD>
  </TR>
  </TABLE>
