The `recovery' grub menu item is mainly adding `single' to the kernel's
arguments.
$ awk -v RS= -v 'ORS=\n\n' '/Ubuntu, kernel 2.6/' /boot/grub/menu.lst
title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.10-5-386
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-5-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.10-5-386
savedefault
boot
title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.10-5-386 (recovery mode)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-5-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro single
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.10-5-386
savedefault
boot
$
So if you can find some way to do that through Xandros...
Cheers,
Ralph.
