Check the following file:
/etc/inittab and find the line that contains initdefault. This shows the runlevel used when booting the OS.
Now I don't know what OS you're running, here's an example from one of my RH-boxes:

# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 1 - Single user mode
# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
# 3 - Full multiuser mode
# 4 - unused
# 5 - X11
# 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#
id:3:initdefault:
You see that my machine is set to start in runlevel 3, which is what you want (full multiuser mode, no GUI at startup, just a shell). Yours is probably set to 5, but this differs per OS, so you must be careful to choose a valid option.
So, change the default runlevel and reboot the machine.
