Just got done going through some Google hits and came across this one:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Initrd%20break%20points
Not as nice as the Knoppix cheatcodes, for example, you can't step
through the different stages as in Knoppix, but will work in a pinch:
The one that helped me was break=bottom.
