Much of this isn't really even necessary. If you have menu.lst properly
setup. You would just choose which kernel you wanted to boot and
instead of pressing enter you would press 'e' to edit the entry. Then
go to the kernel line and press 'e' again and add single at the end of
the line and press 'b' twice and it should boot you into single user
mode. About 5 more buttons to press over a similar lilo configuration.
And so much more flexible. God I love grub :-)
