from an earlier discussion, (16 Feb 2001), worked for me:

In Debian if "X" is installed, by default, boots into "xdm"
"gdm" etc. depending upon your window manager installation.
To avoid this, use [update-rc.d] program, meant for chang-
ing init parameters in Sys-V init process.
Read man for this.
#update-rc.d -f xdm remove
The things that are done by the script include removal of
all system startup links for /etc/init.d/xdm ... i.e.
/etc/rc0.d/K01xdm
/etc/rc1.d/K01xdm
/etc/rc2.d/S99xdm
/etc/rc3.d/S99xdm
/etc/rc4.d/S99xdm
/etc/rc5.d/S99xdm
/etc/rc6.d/K01xdm
You will boot into tty mode therafter, and would have to
use "startx" subsequently to get into "X".
