What I've done just allows some of that to work with less effort, like
pressing ^D rather than typing the stuff you're doing (which was my
previous workaround).

In menu.lst

# kopt=root=/dev/evms/lvm2/vg00/root ro break=mount

which gives me a grub kernel line like:

/vmlinuz-2.6.20-6-generic root=/dev/evms/lvm2/vg00/root ro break=mount

Big fat warning: it works for me, I don't understand why. YMMV etc.
