If you're talking about the place to add entries like askmethod,
selinux=0 or things like that, which used to be put in at that line,
there should be another place where you see the options, install or
upgrade, rescue an installed system, and errm, something else which
escapes me, where it also says hit tab for further options or something
similar.  If you hit tab there, you can add such entries at the end of
the kernel line.  For example, if the last words in the kernel line are
rhgb quiet, hit tab, which puts you at the end (where you can see the
rhgb quiet), and add your options there.  (Without the word linux, so
that it would look like)

....rhgb quiet selinux=0

And NOT

...rhgb quiet linux selinux=0


Note that right now, some of the options, such as askmethod, aren't
working yet.  (To be fixed in the next anaconda iteration, I believe.).

Buffy: You read my diary? That is not OK. A diary is like a 
person's most private possession. You don't even know what I was 
writing about. Hunk can mean a lot of things, bad things. And, 
and when I said his eyes were penetrating, I meant bulging. 
Angel: Buffy... 
Buffy: A doesn't even stand for Angel for that matter. It stand 
for Achmed, a charming foreign exchange student. And that whole 
fantasy part has nothing to even do with you, at all... 
Angel: Your mother moved your diary when she came in to 
straighten up. I watched her from the closet. I didn't read it, I
swear. 
Buffy: Oh.
