You're welcome.

You can edit "/boot/grub2/grub.cfg" but it'll be overwritten the next
time that grub2-mkconfig runs (for example when a new kernel's
installed).

The boot params can be changed through "/boot/default/grub". This is a
default location for changing settings in Debian and Ubuntu so I'd
expect Fedora to move it to /etc/sysconfig once/if grub2's fully
fleshed out. The variables are GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX AND
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT (the former is to set boot params for both
the "regular" entry and "recovery" entry).
