In what way do you do it? You don't type them into a command line, you
append them as parameters onto the kernel at boot time.

No need to worry about that, just duplicate an entry in your grub.conf
file.
e.g. If you had an entry *something* like:
title Fedora Core (2.6.16-1.2111_FC4)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2111_FC4 ro root=/dev/hda7 acpi=force
initrd /initrd-2.6.16-1.2111_FC4.img
Copy and paste it again into the grub.conf file, with the variations on
the copy, so you've got it *both* ways.
title Fedora Core (2.6.16-1.2111_FC4) modifed
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2111_FC4 ro root=/dev/hda7 acpi=off
initrd /initrd-2.6.16-1.2111_FC4.img
Then you can pick either one to boot from when you start the PC.
