assuming you have already downloaded an iso image, you can lookup the
used parameters in isolinux/live.cfg:

---snip---
label live
»·······menu label Live
»·······kernel /live/vmlinuz1
»·······append initrd=/live/initrd1.img boot=live union=aufs·

label livefailsafe
»·······menu label Live (failsafe)
»·······kernel /live/vmlinuz1
»·······append initrd=/live/initrd1.img boot=live union=aufs  noapic
noapm nodma nomce nolapic nosmp vga=normal

label live-686
»·······menu label Live 686
»·······kernel /live/vmlinuz2
»·······append initrd=/live/initrd2.img boot=live union=aufs·

label live-686failsafe
»·······menu label Live 686 (failsafe)
»·······kernel /live/vmlinuz2
»·······append initrd=/live/initrd2.img boot=live union=aufs  noapic

1 is 2.6.26-2-486, 2 is 2.6.26-2-686. the image names have cropped names
because of the legacy with etchs syslinux that does not support longer
filenames/pathes and can actually go away soon.
