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 
with more info:

1.  # sysctl -a

2. Modify kernel parameters to what you wish within
/etc/sysctl.conf 
file.  When you have finished and saved your changes to
sysctl.conf (of 
course) then run:
     # sysctl -p

Of course the # signifies you are in su mode.

More details can be found at:

The instructions at the link although used for installing a
particular 
app will work on any other.  Likewise the use of sysctl will
function 
similarly.

Best wishes...
