First of all, this question should go to fedora-users list, not to 
fedora-selinux

to boot in text mode, press 'e' (like in edit) on the initial grub boot 
menu, select the entry saying something similar to
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8-1.521 ro root=LABEL=/
press again "e" then add a " 3" (without the quotes) at the end of the 
line. then press enter to validate the modification, followed by "b" 
(like in boot)
