Public bug reported:

During the first phase of the boot, GRUB provides the option for
"recovery mode".  This boots the kernel with the options "ro single".
The expected behavior is the computer boots to a text-mode command
prompt with all volumes mounted read-only.  What actually happens is the
computer boots normally to a graphical prompt with the volumes mounted
read-write, just like a normal boot.

The "init" command doesn't seem to work either.  For example, you might
run "init 1" hoping to get the computer to a recovery-mode like state.
However init does nothing.

I'm using ubuntu-eee 8.401.  uname -a says:
Linux eee 2.6.24-22-eeepc #1 SMP Sun Sep 7 19:57:24 MDT 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

My hardware is an eee pc 1000.
