You might have selected linux as default OS and not given enough wait time, check your grub.conf file and increase the wait time(default is 5 sec), In lilo booting there was option to boot with non-graphical boot menu, if it is also there in grub then u should not select it

file name is grub.conf, i think u will find it in /boot , use vi to edit the file and reboot the machine(it will be good if u take backup first of the file)
