Enter your root password, then go to /etc/rc2.d/ and move S99gdm to K99gdm, S99xdm to K99xdm and S99kdm to K99kdm (don't worry if not all of them appear). This will disable the graphic login at startup. you can also uninstall them if you prefer instead. Also check that you have enough swap space. now press Ctrl-d to return to normal boot. Next time you log in the graphic boot won't start
