I guess that I was not clear. I understand how to change the default
action during boot by editing inittab. Sometimes however, as when
compiling the nVidida linux drivers, I must be in a non-X environment
without X running at all. In this case it would be nice to be able to
boot to a non-X environment without editing inittab. Such as before
grub we could enter Linux 3 at boot and go to a non-X system without the
inittab edit.
Thanks,
Bob

Hi all,
I have looked through the grub docs but do not find explicit
statement of how I can go directly to the linux command line in a
non-x-windows environment from grub even though the system is set to
go to x-windows in inittab.
Since grub is oerating system agnostic, the information you want
wouldn't be in the grub docs.
Instead "man inittab" and read up on initdefault.
