It's a kernel parameter, not an anaconda parameter. A partial list is
here:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/install-guide/ch-bootopts.html

Also, see /usr/src/linux-2.4/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

The installer's kernel comes from the kernel-BOOT rpm package. At build
time, it is extracted from the rpm package.
