yaboot and runlevel

[Spuhler, Peter]

Is it possible with yaboot to specify a runlevel to boot into?
I've tried "Linux init 1" at the yaboot prompt, but I keep ending up in
runlevel 5 at which point my keyboard stops working. I need to get into
my system to fix networking and the X keyboard issue. My networking is
also misconfigured so a remote terminal session is not an option right
now.
Thanks for any help
Peter
