I wasn't looking for a text mode install. The "3" was just a habit from 
normal booting. For openSUSE and Mandriva/Mageia installation (and IIRC 
*buntu's and maybe even Debian's), including it will cause their installation 
programs to also include the 3 in the Grub menu stanzas, but have no effect 
on the installation process itself. Having it totally prevent any kind of 
installation initialization having booted an installation kernel and initrd 
to me is completely unexpected.
