Ah, sorry. It looks like we maybe don't have clear enough docs here.
1. On the grub menu, use the cursor keys to select the menu entry you
want to edit, and press the E key.
2. Move the cursor down 3 lines to find the command line for the kernel.
This is the line starting with "linux".
3. Move the cursor to near the end of the line, *before* the "---"
separator and add any extra command line options you need there.
4. Hit Ctrl-x or F10 to boot
As mentioned separately, you'll probably want to do this starting with
the "Advanced Options ..." / "... Automated install" boot option.
OK? Hope that helps...
