Navigate to the kernel line and press the "e" key again. Now add whatever you want to test to the line and then press "b" which will cause you to boot with that new line. This line will only be in effect for the duration of that session and this way, you've not made any changes to the system configuration so it will revert back to the previous line next time you boot.
