[gentoo-user] How to boot into single user mode

Hi all, I have a kernel generated with genkernel and do need the initramfs because I am using lvm and luks. Now I am trying to create a second entry in grub.conf that lets me boot into single user mode in an emergency. Of course, adding 1 or single on the kernel line does not work together
