Which is why I asked you to boot the live system into runlevel 3, not to boot
from the rescue disk. This kind of situations is what GRUB lets you edit the
kernel command line for.
I forgot one thing though in the above instructions: Your kernel command line
probably contains "rhgb" (as this is set by default). That is the Red Hat
Graphical Boot, which runs X11 even before you can login to the console. So
remove "rghb" from the kernel command line and write "3" (without the quotes)
there instead.
