Actually it's runlevel 1 you'd want, for that purpose.

The hotkeys for using GRUB are documented, they're even explained to you
on the boot screens.

Adding a runlevel option to the kernel line isn't a GRUB thing, it's
kernel thing.  That's documented in the appropriate place, too.

Altogether, they're documented in numerous places on the WWW, if you
find the right keywords to search for.
