To do it for test purposes, you boot to the GRUB menu, highlight the
menu entry you would normally boot from, and press 'e'.
In the resulting list, the kernel command line is the one mentioning
'vmlinuz'. Add the parameter to the end of that line, and boot the rest
of the way.
(If your boot process doesn't normally show you the GRUB menu, then I'm
not familiar enough with your configuration to be able to tell you what
you need to do to access it.)

If/when you want to make this permanent, you'll need to fiddle with
/etc/default/grub and/or /etc/grub.d/* (I suspect more likely the
former), and run the 'update-grub' command afterwards. Or you could just
install the systemd-sysv package, assuming that's available, which makes
all the necessary changes automatically.
