In Grub 2

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true

where the first option is the number of seconds grub sits at the menu
without showing it, and the second option controls whether or not the
user sees a countdown.

To force viewing the menu, hold down the shift key during boot. This
works even if the first option is set to 0.
