It should be the first screen after the POST - a FC5 graphic with a
countdown that says "booting kernel <number> in X seconds...".  At the
countdown, press any key.  My recollection's a little shaky (press
'e'?), but from there you should be able to edit the default entry
(specifically the 'boot' line by adding a '3'), and then press 'b' to
boot.
