  You're right to suspect GrUB would want something
different: the line quoted specifies parameters to the
running kernel, and you should add the bit within quotes
to one of GrUB's `kernel ...` lines - such as line three
of the paragraph (verbatim from your own file) here:

> title Fedora Core (2.6.10-1.12_FC2)
>         root (hd0,0)
>         kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.10-1.12_FC2 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
>         initrd /initrd-2.6.10-1.12_FC2.img

  If you're being paranoid, you might want to test this
first, either by entering the revised parameters to a
"boot:" prompt, or -if available- using the facility
GrUB has to (temporarily) modify the paragraph of
configuration it's booting from.

HTH,
