Hello,
we can boot our SLE11 systems to a non-default runlevels via “boot options” parameter.
similar option is missing in SLE 12, and one have to press “E” then append the “target” on linux/kernel line.
My question here the old(nice/fancy) option to boot in different runlevel/target is not available in SLE 12, or am I missing something, please guide.
Hi
The change from sysvinit to systemd and to grub2 
AFAIK, at present you need to edit as you discovered…
You can set the target for the next reboot via;
systemctl set-default multi-user.target (runlevel 3)
systemctl set-default graphical.target (runlevel 5)Or use the isolate systemd option to switch.
