Probably because it is not yet in multiuser mode.
You could try to boot into single user mode. At the grub prompt select
the kernel you want to boot into and type "e" (edit), go to the kernel
boot line and type "e" again. Go to the end of the line, erase the last
entry (can't remember the spelling but that is what starts the graphical
boot) and replace it with "single" (without the '"''s). Press "b" to
boot. You should eventually get a root prompt and you can then install
the drivers...
