is
$ cat /proc/cmdline
what you seek?

if so, then editing /etc/grub.conf will let you change the parameters 
you pass to the kernel on boot.  you can change all sorts of parameters 
if you muck around in the /proc filesystem.  be careful.  you can also 
muck with these using sysctl.  same difference.  here's a good link
