[ale] auto start

[John Pilman]

I have set up a box that I want to maintain remotely so I plan to leave it
headless.  I also found the settings in the bios to allow it to start
automatically when power is applied.  That way, when power is restored after
a power failure, no one has to press the start button on the PC.

That works most of the time, but occasionally, GRUB displays a screen asking
which operating system to start.  I have no remote access when I can't get
past GRUB, and without a monitor or keyboard, it is tough to select an OS.
I'd like to force the boot without waiting for input, but I have not
tinkered with GRUB much, and I did not find anything in the documentation
that addresses this situation.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

By the way, this is Ubuntu 10.10 with GNU GRUB version
1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3.
