Yet another reason setting grub's timeout to 0 was a very bad idea,

indeed, i had to boot another operating system to increase the timeout so that
i can change the kernel line when needed....
For what it's worth, on VM's I've learned (though sometimes forgetting)
to get over to a console--on VirtualBox, it's hold the host key, usually
right control, and use the F2--to get to a console, go into
/mnt/sysimage and edit grub.conf to give me a 3 second timeout before
the reboot. (I also remove the hidden menu line.)
