Heh. I learn a lot from reading my posts -- when I figure out why my first reply was wrong :p Now that I've thought about it, I assume you have only ssh access to your remote machine, so you can't see the grub boot prompt, right? Maybe the remote machine doesn't even pause at the boot prompt because no one is there to watch it? I'm curious how remote servers work in real life because in my next life I wanna come back as a sysadmin :)
