Sure - obviously, though, it has 'text' in it so I could boot to a
multi-user state and *then* run 'gdm' from the command line.
eve[~]% cat /proc/cmdline
root=/dev/sda1 ro text
If I leave it as the default, it would have 'root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet
splash', and the system will boot but to a black screen (where I can do
nothing):
eve[~]% grep -E '(kopt|defopt)' /boot/grub/menu.lst
