Edit /etc/inittab and look for the line that sets the default runlevel:

  id:5:initdefault:

Change the runlevel from 5 to 3. Any subsequent reboot will put you into
runlevel 3. On Linux runlevel 3 differs from runlevel 5 only by not
running a graphical login.

You don't have reboot to go to runlevel 3. Just use the command

  telinit 3

Sure this is a FAQ, but edit /etc/inittab:
Change the runlevel 5 to 3 with
 
id:5:initdefault:
to
id:3:initdefault:

BTW, we can do without the 40 or 50 lines of HTML just to
send 2 lines of a text question.

It initialises from /etc/inittab
edit it, you'll see an entry invoking X server.
remove that line, or hash it.
