To add to what Jeremy said, I always used 'telinit', which upon researching 
it just now is apparently very similar to 'init'.  So,

prompt> telinit 3

would take you to runlevel 3.  I don't know what the differences between it 
and 'init' are exactly (apparently something syntactically to some level, 
according to the man page), but it looks like it works similarly to 'init', 
FWIW!
