I also haven´t found a method of booting into text. > You can always switch to text-mode via <Ctrl><Alt><Fx>. Another solution is to press <Alt>n during the kdm-login-screen (I don't know about gdm, though). If you want to always start into text-mode, just edit /etc/X11/ default-display-manager not to start your kdm/gdm/xdm. If you want to start into text-mode only sometimes you could also make your default-runlevel (in /etc/inittab) 5 (3 or 4 should also work) instead of 2 and rename the Sxx[kgx]dm in /etc/rc2.d/ to Kxx[kgx]dm. Then whenever you want to boot into text-mode you can give "2" as kernel-parameter, so that init activates runlevel 2.
