The easiest way to remove X and ALL GUI stuff is to reinstall.
Really! Choose Expert mode or get the NetInstall CD and install only
the Base System, a minimal, command-line only set up that you can
build the system you need off of.
Your black screen problem has happened to me in the past. I discovered
it was caused (in my case) by the X server being called to run in a
resolution not support by the graphic card. A bug in the installer?
Setting a supported resolution fixed it.
