If you are wanting to have the option at boot as to choose to boot into either
text or GUI, then this is not possible.
Though there are other factors involved this operation in basicly handled
by /etc/initab and can have only 1 default entry which is the run level to
which the system will always boot, it can either be to X or 1 of the h other 
run levels.

To drop to single user mode from the GUI login, Alt+Ctrl+F1-F4, login as root
and run init3, to return and restart the X server init5.
