All you have to do is not use a desktop manager ([xkg]dm packages) and
you won't start up into X.  I have never used anything in between an
"emergency" or "recovery" boot and a regular boot up; if I need
something that wasn't done in an emergency shell right away, I usually
do it myself.

It just seems better that way, to me.  Less things to get in your way,
and then you have only two modes to worry about instead of several (up
to 6, without the system ones).
