Erik Troan talked about working on an automagical patch to GRUB that
would do this back in 7.3 or so..
Having to work with people over the phone on adding options via the GRUB
menus has been lets say 'interesting'.

The machine is booting from GRUB, not
from a floppy or CD, so
how do I pass this option at bootup ... (from a cold boot)? As it is,
I now have to hit the reset button, and (usually this happens for a
couple of boots) then I get the progress bar working as it should.
i.e. no freeze, no flashing keyboard LED's
