You may want to check /etc/rc.conf and make sure it is not starting |
| 25 |
there. I'm assuming you want to boot to the default level but just not |
| 26 |
wanting the GUI to start. You may want search for softlevel and add |
| 27 |
that to your boot loader. |

This sort of depends on why you are doing this and if it is a often used |
| 30 |
thing or just once in a blue moon. You can create a custom boot level |
| 31 |
and have a boot line for that, I think you can still do that. Things |
| 32 |
are changing so much and fast I can't keep up. :/ |

Hope that helps. |
