At the screen that says booting/using kernel xxx.xx.x (blue screen)
hit one of the arrow keys (quickly cuz you only have a few seconds to do this) and then a "e" (without the quote marks)
- and then use arrow keys to cursor down to the line that has rhgb quiet
at the end and delete those two words (rhgb quiet)
- and then type in place of those the word single
- hit enter key then the 'b" key to bootup into the single user text mode..
