I always keep a "single" option in my grub.conf , eg

title Fedora (2.6.22.9-91.fc7) single
        root (hd1,1)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22.9-91.fc7 single ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/slash
        initrd /initrd-2.6.22.9-91.fc7.img

Then if there is eg a problem in /etc/fstab
I can just boot in single mode and change it.

I've never seen this suggested before,
but it seems quite a good idea to me?
