Is there an option that I can edit into the kernel command at boot time to init in 3? And then what do I try?

If I have to reload Centos, I have to pull the drive, put it into another system, install there, etc. Not my idea of a fun day....

In the grub system menu you can type e for edit and append a 3 on the line that starts with 'kernel'. Then type b to boot this entry and it should boot in runlevel 3. Then change back the inittab and try startx to start Xwindows. If that fails look in the X logfile for the reason.
