At the GRUB boot menu, with the selection bar on the kernel/boot option you want to load, hit the letter "a". On the "command line" that you get, on the next screen, type "single" without the quote marks and hit <enter>.
This will boot you into single user mode, where you'll be presented with a simple bash prompt, "sh-2.05a" or something similar. Voila...you're in single user mode.
