On a different thread, it was discovered that you could add "INIT 3" to the boot commands to make the system boot into runlevel 3 (full multiuser network environment without XWindows). You could also add this to your bootloader (lilo or grub), to make it an available option.
If you want a permanent solution, edit /etc/inittab, and thange the following line:
id:5:initdefault:
Change to:
id:3:initdefault:
