Assuming you use grub: you do it permanently by adding it in /boot/grub/grub.conf, to the end of the line which starts 'kernel /kernel-2...'.

But you can test it by pressing 'e' when the grub menu appears, and editing the line there.

If you use lilo, someone else can answer, because I don't know :-)
