But your better option is probably to find out about booting with the standard CD and then instead of doing the regular install, take advantage of the option to pass arguments to the kernel at boot time. From the first boot screen there are options at the bottom so you can add extra arguments to the kernel. Besides, after you install, you are going to want to upgrade to the latest version of the kernel anyhow, so you will want to do a full install and then download the kernel source for the most recent (741) kernel and then compile it with your new argument (unless you can pass that argument from grub.conf - and don't need to compile at all.
