If he has that line in /etc/inittab and it's not working then he may
have a runlevel set on the kernel command line (but I asssumed he'd
know about that already). Otherwise, the issue he described (the
runlevel not "sticking") should be solved by putting it in
/etc/inittab (since upstart was made to read that again shortly prior
to the release by Bill Nottingham, IIRC).
