Try this:

In previous versions of Linux, using lilo to boot, I was able to
boot to different run levels by typing linux 3 for runlevel 3, how do
I accomplish this using the grub boot loader?

Solution:
The following instructions explain how to boot to
different runlevels using grub:

  1. Boot up to the grub menu screen.
  2. Highlight the linux os that you would like to boot and
     press the letter e to edit the entry.
  3. Highlight the second line on this next screen and press
     `e' to edit it.
  4. Cursor over all the way to the end of the line and
    press the spacebar and enter the runlevel to boot into:

      a. 1 = single user mode
      b. 2 = Multiuser mode
      c. 3 = Full Multiuser mode
      d. 5 = X11

  5. After you have entered the runlevel desired, press the
     enter key and then the letter b to boot the linux os.
