To edit dynamically:

-  Step to the right line (you might have only one: "Fedora Core ...").
-  Type "e" (edit)
-  Step to the kernel line
-  Type "e" (edit)
-  Add the options that you want (press RETURN then IIRC)
-  Tupe "b" (boot)

You can also add additional entries to grub.conf, of course, that
you can choose at boot time.

Cheers,
