Well, I got impatient and did the install without creating a boot disk
or backing up the mbr.  Everything did not go well, but GRUB's shell
helped solve all the problems.  Nice.

What I was getting at when I asked about default booting was something
like:

timeout 30
default 0
fallback 1

This way, the 0 entry will boot after 30 secs.

Thanks for all of your help.
