The simplest way is probably to parse /proc/cmdline in the script. Grub
can set arbitrary options on the kernel command line.

You can define multiple boot stanzas in /boot/grub/menu.lst with
different options in each stanza.

Run "cat /proc/cmdline" and compare the result with the contents of
/boot/grub/menu.lst to see what I mean.
