You could also create a separate grub.cfg "text" entry either directly
or via "/etc/grub.d/40_custom". You could even use grub-reboot to use
that option for the next reboot.
But simply editing the kernel cmdline at boot is less convoluted...
The grub1 AUTOKERNEL options were more flexible :(
Your earlier suggestion of creating a separate runlevel for a DM via
insserv overrides is probably the best option but you'll still have to
edit the kernel cmdline at boot for one of them...
