The Qubes installer equivalent to the "E" key to edit is "Tab" key. The screen
won't change much, but keep eyes peeled on the bottom of the screen when you
press the tab key, and you'll notice the boot line appears. The edit icon
appears at th end of the boot line. Press space key once, and add your commands
:)
This also had me confused for a while as well, I wonder what advantages there
is to a different approach in the installer. But once you know this difference,
you will have similar capabilities as you did with the "E" key Grub version.
