Exactly. Or you could do what someone else suggested: boot normally and
when you get the flashing stripes hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 (i.e. hold down the
Control and Alt keys and hit the F1 function key). That will switch you
to Virtual Console number 1, which is a text-mode terminal. Log in as
root and then type the commands as Marcelo said.

(By default you actually have 7 virtual consoles. Numbers 1-6 are text
mode and number 7 is the graphical interface).

This is *way* more fun than Windows :-)
