Thanks Les,
I must have read through the man page for grub a dozen times but was
not able to pick out that sequence. Works fine.
Thanks again,
Bob

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.
If you hit a key while the grub menu is displayed you can edit
the kernel line to change the options passed. First highlight
the grub menu selection you want (probably the default one), hit
'e' to edit, select the kernel line and hit 'e' to edit, add
the runlevel you want at the end of the line - '3' in this case,
then 'b' to boot.
