Updated docs are always good, but I wonder why do you need this. If I need single user I simply press "e", edit the line and add single, followed by a "b" to boot. That is a for maintenance only so I really don't see a need for it at grub menu, same wth the other runlevels, all you gotta do is append "nox" or use Interactive (again, this is only if something is broken, I can't see myself doing this twice in a week)... -- Daniel da Veiga
