Multiple runlevel options at Bootup

Is it possible to give multiple runlevel options during boot up.. When the Welcome screen appears, i want to give multiple runlevel options.. So the user can boot into any desired runlevel he wants.. Found this kinda interesting.. Any hints and solutions please?

Do the users have root login on their systems? If they don't and aren't supposed to, then allowing them to boot into a runlevel of their choice is not a good idea. The default runlevel for a GUI (5 on Linux, I think) is what a system should boot into.

Yes the user is a root user.. I know one way of doin it(albeit not so appropriate) is simply by saying #telinit RUNLEVEL. But that can be done after it boots.. So i wanted to know if there is anyway of doin it beore booting..
