Just to clear some thing up...

The boot perameter "single" aka "1" brings the machine to "single user
level" this does not start any networking services, an a WHOLE bunch of
other stuff. This is a bare bones running system, with minimal
applications running. If the user was to "update" there system after
booting to single, they would have to run service network start (or
manually configure ethX).

The boot parameter "3" brings the system to "multi user, no X". 

They are significantly different.
