If you're booting from CD it wouldn't be any different than doing it on a
straight machine. I use a CD that pulls in a kickstart file (on Ubuntu) from
a web server and it works fine with VirtualBox and KVM. I just boot from it
and it loads the kickstart file and boots from there. Whenever I want to
change boot parameters I just change the kickstart file. I don't think it's
exactly what you're looking for but the differences on the CD was exactly
one line in the ISOLINUX.cfg file.

I changed the append line for the kernel to include the following line and
then rebuned the CD. You only have to do this once.

  append  ks=http://my.webserver.com/ubuntu/thales.cfginitrd=/install/initrd.gz
