AFAIK this is done from inittab, not grub. So.....
Edit your file /etc/inittab and change the line that probably says:
"
# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
#   0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#   1 - Single user mode
#   2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have 
networking)
#   3 - Full multiuser mode
#   4 - unused
#   5 - X11
#   6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#
id:5:initdefault:
"
Now change the 5 in the last line to 3 and you are a go.

If you mean a different feature, I am very interested to know what you 
did in FC3.

Guus.
