Runlevel 3 with nomodeset in kernel to install CUDA 9.0 on Ubuntu 16.04

I am following instructions to install CUDA 9.0 from this link: http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/9.0/Prod/docs/sidebar/CUDA_Quick_Start_Guide.pdf
and I am at the instruction:
Reboot into runlevel 3 by temporarily adding the number "3" and the word
"nomodeset" to the end of the system's kernel boot parameters.
So from my understanding I boot up into GRUB, highlight the option "Start Ubuntu" and press 'E' and append to the linux line the following '... 3 nomodeset '
When I rebooted and appended that string to the end of the linux line and pressed F10, my start up froze at a purple-ish screen.
Essentially if I run the Cuda.run file directly without following the steps outlined in the guide the installer will fail stating that "X-Server" is still running and must be stopped.
I have previously tried stopping X-Server but it caused me to brick my ubuntu boot so I won't be attempting anything like that soon.
How can I run level 3 with nomodeset so that I may carry out the CUDA 9.0 installation?
How can I troubleshoot whats causing the freeze on start up?
Thanks in advance!
