no menu

[andreas graeper]

hi,
i installed bodhi next to windows, mainly to install openbsd next und
have it booted by grub.
never before i got trouble doing so !
but when i rebooted there was no menu. i tried many of that proposals
that i found in web, but no change. the menu is not shown, though
there are more than one distros. the grub.cfg looks good.

is there a fool-proof solution to that problem ?
why such stupid hiding a menu, when it exists in background (the up
and down button to choose from the list works if one knows the order
of menuentries !)
esc and shift does not work !

thanks in advance
arno
