[NTLUG:Discuss] Change run level at boot time

[Leroy Tennison]

The web isn't helping (or I don't know what to query for).  Assume 
booting with grub.  I want to be able to press 'e' to edit the command 
prompt and change the runlevel.  I can't seem to find a clear example of 
a command line parameter to do this, can anyone provide one?  I've 
looked at the kernel command line parameters and didn't see anything (or 
missed it).  I haven't found anything about init command line parameters 
which would do this.  I don't want to change inittab because I'd have to 
specify runlevel on each boot.  Anyone know of a way?
