But, you won't get the recovery menu letting you choose whether to continue normal boot, or single user with or without networking ... Instead, the X server should start up without any user intervention. If it doesn't, chances are you'll have some hint as to what's wrong from all that text output.

Thanks!  I'll give that a try, but I suspect I'll get the same display
as I do if I hit the escape key when the splash screen first appears.
Here's hoping that is not the case and this works.
