Finding the right script to do it in is only half the solution: How is
information passed out of GRUB about what options were selected?

The simplest way is probably to parse /proc/cmdline in the script. Grub
can set arbitrary options on the kernel command line.

You can define multiple boot stanzas in /boot/grub/menu.lst with
different options in each stanza.

Run "cat /proc/cmdline" and compare the result with the contents of
/boot/grub/menu.lst to see what I mean.

Well, I'd say the _simplest_ way is to just set the runlevel in the grub
stanzas, but yours is more flexible.
