when the grub menu comes pres 'e' on the kernel which u want 2 boot and
then on the kernel=/boot/kernel.img line just add 'single' at the end.
i.e.
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda8 devfs=mount hdb=ide-scsi vga=794 single
this will initate the single user mode, and it's a console.
devfs has the ability to create device file entries on the fly depending on what devices are supporeted by the kernel.
with the option 'devfs=mount', the kernel will mout /dev/devfs automatically whenever your system boots up.
