Follow the instructions at the bottom of the grub menu, to edit the parameters that are sent to the kernel. You simply have to append "single" to the line that starts with the word "kernel". Its usually the line that looks like: kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdax ro Change it to: kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdax ro single This does not change the actual entry in the menu, you'll be presented with the original menu when you boot again.
