After boot, get another virtual terminal session (Alt-Ctrl-F1 through F6)
Just use Alt-Ctrl-F1 or Alt-Ctrl-F2.  Then login as root and update the
/etc/inittab as Scott described.  Reboot.  Warning: Never set the
initdefault to 6 - your machine will reboot constantly - just keep it to
3 for Text, and 5 for Graphical.
Hope this helps, Ken
