What happens if you choose pci=off at the LiveCD prompt?

When at the Grub screen for the Ubuntu Live CD you can choose options (by pressing F6) and select an option called pci=off.

What does that mean? How will it change how Ubuntu boots?

    From the Linux BootPrompt Howto:

    pci=off:

    Using this option disables all PCI bus probing. Any device drivers that make use of PCI functions to find and initialize hardware will most likely fail to work.
