Step 1

When you see the Grub boot loader menu, select the entry you normally boot from and press 'e'.

Step 2

Using the up and down arrow keys, select the line that says 'kernel' and press 'e'.

Step 3

At the end of the line, add '-s' to tell the kernel to boot single-user.

Optional: Adding '-v' will cause the kernel to print more information.

Step 4

Hit ESC to go back to this screen. If everything looks good (-s and -v are in the kernel line) press 'b' to boot with these settings.
