At the install boot prompt, you'd enter something like:

	boot: text expert <other-options>

For example, to disable athlon-specific stuff:

	boot: text expert noathlon

To add nomce:

	boot: text expert noathlon nomce

There are a number of different options available.  Most (but not all)
are documented in the kernel source Documentation directory in the
file "kernel-parameters.txt".  If you have a kernel source RPM or tgz
installed, the default location is
"/usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt".
