    It's the same idea -- you're just passing parameters to the kernel. 
Here's a couple of examples from my /boot/grub/menu.list file:

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.4.20-k7 (single user mode)
root            (hd1,0)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-k7 root=/dev/hdc1 ro single
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.4.20-k7
savedefault
boot

or more simply:

title Debian GNU/Linux (Maintenance Mode)
         root (hd0,2)
         kernel /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hda3 single maint
