Specifically, boot your computer.  When you get the grub screen (that
lets you select what to boot), hit an arrow key.  That will stop the 
automatic boot from happening.  Then, you have time to read what's on
the screen there.  You can then press "e" to edit the various grub
boot commands or "a" to specify kernel arguments (which is probably
what you want to use for testing).
