Changing the run-level

[SW]

Is there a kernel argument can be changed to set the run-level of the
system at startup. For example changing the system from level 5 to
level 3.

Sure is - just put the number of whatever runlevel you want to start up in
as a kernel argument.

If it helps, once you get it booted, changing the default runlevel can be
done either through linuxconf, or by editing the /etc/inittab (change
id:5:initdefault: to id:3:initdefault:)

Hope that helps,
