I'd keep it a bit less technical. Something like "rescue mode" or

Suggestions?
------------------
I think either of those may work better. Either better describes the
level the machine boots to, yet will be less confusing to the user as to
why it's in the list.
Uhm the current "single-user mode" string is inspired by the one in debian's
original update-grub script, which used to be "recovery mode" but was changed
in 2006:

I guess it'd be polite to ask Martin about it before switching to
"recovery mode" or "rescue mode".
Martin, our problem is that "single-user mode" is very confusing for those
not experienced with Un*x. They tend to think this is the normal mode of
operation since they are (usually) a "single user".
Any comments?
===========
Why not then make it a combination of both? Maybe
recovery--single-user-mode or single-user-mode/rescue? Just some little
something to help clarify it to a new user or user that didn't play with
Unix. :-)
It wouldn't extend the selection in either the loader list or the
grub.cfg that much.
