(SOLVED)Black screen after installing nvidia-open-dkms!

I was on nvidia-dkms, and after great news ("Nvidia released open-source kernel modules") I decided to switch to nvidia-open-dkms. After installation I run those commands:

sudo mkinitcpio -p linux-zen
sudo bootcl update

After that I rebooted my PC and see black screen. Nothing appears.

neofetch output:

You can't switch to nvidia-open-dkms it only supports Turing and up, your GPU is Pascal. Boot to multi-user.target  and install nvidia-dkms again.

I didn't know that. How can I boot to multi-user.target?
