Goto Command Line from Grub without X

[Bob Hartung]

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
