Options for the boot command line.
This list is not comprehensive but it contains some of the common options. When presented with the text on the screen "boot: " then the options below can be given. They must have the kernel name before the option. e.g. boot: linux noacpi Options can be used together.

Option: debian-installer/framebuffer=false
Impact: Disable framebuffer.
Option: hw-detect/start_pcmcia=false
