CentOS - Sep 2012 - centos6 - failsafe terminal on login screen

I have some clients that run centos6 and I need to have users be able to 
access the "failsafe terminal" from the login screen. The old options
(from
4/5) for choosing your session aren't present. I've googled a bit on
this
but don't seem to be using a good search string as most of the hits have 
nothing to do with this and the rest aren't helpful.

So, just wondering if anyone knows what I need to do to "turn on"
session
choosing from the login screen, and how to include the failsafe terminal.

Thanks!

so, if I understand correctly, you want to be able to choosoe "Gnome",
"XFCE", etc., etc. from the login screen, right?

the feature is there, but it doesn't show up until you've chosen a
username
either from the list displayed, or entered one manually. so, enter a user
ID and then choose, before completing the password.
