If, press and hold any key right after the BIOS message has gone. With some luck it should drop you into the boot menu. Assuming GRUB and having root access, have a look into /etc/default/grub and find GRUB_TIMEOUT= and put the number in seconds after the "=" you want it to wait before booting the default OS. Run "update-grub" after that. -- Andreas I use a Unix based operating system, which means I get laid almost as often as I have to reboot my computer.
