I hope to have addressed your needs in my other message, but...

I searched the kernel-parameters docs, and couldn't find anything for
specifying a particular runlevel (other than single). If there were a
desperate need, you could use the Live Boot CD to edit /etc/inittab and
change the default runlevel, but as I've already said, I can see no good
reason for needing to do this.
