As Kevin J. Cummings said, you want to boot to runlevel 1, which is
text mode.
Boot to the command line, in other words.
Wrong. Runlevel 1 is single-user mode. You aren't connected to the net
by default and only the root partition (and, if needed, /boot) mounted.
It's used for major system repairs when the system won't properly
boot. A text only boot, with everything mounted is runlevel 3.
