The secret is holding down the shift key during the boot.

The new grub 2.0 is coming as default in all of the major linux distros now. The focus is on fast boot times. Grub 2.0 offers a very pretty boot screen and very speedy boot time, but the problem is that the old way of getting into the boot menu doesn't work anymore. The key is to hold down the shift key to get the boot menu and you're in. :)
