When the system starts to boot, hit a key to bring up the Grub menu.
Use e for edit, and then use the arrow keys to highlight the kernel
line. Hit e to edit this line. If you put a 3 at the end of this
line, and hit b for boot, you will boot into run level 3. (there is
also an option you can remove so that you stay in the text mode the
entire boot, but I don't remember it right now - I normally boot
this machine that way. For me, the change would be from:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22.9-61.fc6 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00

to:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22.9-61.fc6 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 3

You also have the option of entering the label and the option
instead of using the edit option: (It will be a different lable for
you.)

Fedora Core (2.6.22.9-61.fc6) 3
