Not quite... you can call a different runlevel from grub just by typing its number when booting up.
Technically, it's not grub, it is the kernel you're telling to use runlevel number in init. Same way, you can tell kernel to run a shell in stead of init, but that's a different story.
Well... as this happens before any kernel has loaded, under grub control, as it is showing its menu for you to choose and type, you give parameters to grub, and it is passed to the kernel, if appropriate. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
