To get Kali 2.0 / Rolling to boot into console (useful on ARM hardware such as Raspberry Pi/2/3), run the following commands:

  root@kali:~# systemctl get-default

  root@kali:~# systemctl set-default multi-user.target

Once you reboot, you will be at the familiar console login screen. To revert these changes, all one has to do is run:

  root@kali:~# systemctl set-default graphical.target

Once you reboot, you should be back to the GUI login screen.
