The tools in drak* still let you configure this, so that's the "easy" way. For real men (and women), we just change the /etc/systemd/system/default.target symlink to point at whatever target we want to use by default. For ad-hoc changes you can pass systemd.unit=foo.target on the kernel command line or just append a runlevel number or the words "single" or "failsafe" as before.
