In traditional System V init systems, that'd be runlevel 1 or "single user mode." This should only be used in emergencies where normal boot is not working at all.

As Linux is generally going over to systemd, the idea of a "runlevel" is going away, and instead systemd will try to hit specific "targets" during boot. You can change the run target to something like single user mode, but only if necessary.
