Like this: I had to use a program that allowed me to edit the boot/grub/menu.1st from Windows, but I think you should be able to use the F6 option upon boot also. I was not comfortable with that so I opened it via Wordpad from Windows and saved it back to the boot/grub/ directory. I used Paragon's Partition Explorer Version 5.6, the newer versions don't allow you to edit, import, or export anything, but the old version does. Anyway I changed the FIRST boot option below just after the "ro" part. It was "ro quiet splash", I changed it as you can see to "ro noapic nolapic nosplash". I rebooted and Ubuntu 64 booted up as normal no problems whatsoever. And yes it's permanent. By the way this isn't my whole menu.1st only the part at the bottom.
