highlighted. You should press the e key to enter the edit command mode. This will give you the ability to
change command options that are part of the boot process. Specifically, you will add the option single to

When the e key is pressed, the GRUB text shown below will be seen. (Note the 0 and 1 entries now refer
to the selected image that is booting). You should now edit the kernel line. This is done using the arrow

after 'e' is pressed, the user may see the following
<yS0,9600n8
The < indicates the a portion of the command line is not seen. The arrow keys allow you to

<yS0,9600n8 single
