Running LILO??  If so, at the prompt, type:  linux 3
That should boot you into console mode w/o X
In GRUB, I believe you have to hit "e" to edit the boot line.  I don't use
grub, but I believe after hitting e you'll be able to enter linux 3;
hopefully a GRUB user will correct me if I'm wrong.
HTH,
Mike

At the LILO boot prompt, type linux 3

Or, while it is trying to bring up X Windows, type Ctrl+Alt+F2, which will
take you to the text terminal.  Then you can edit /etc/inittab, and change:

id:5:...
to
id:3:...
and reboot.
