F11: No boot menu

Hello all,

  F11 is great.  So great that I've installed at work for daily use,
replacing my F8 installation.  x86_64 at that.  

  Anyhow, I have F8 on /dev/sda6 and installed F11 on /dev/sda1.  After
install and full update, there's no boot menu that allows choosing
between F8 (which is still there on disk) and F11.

  A grub.conf file exists with two entries, one for the original F11
2.9.29 kernel, and one for the updated 2.9.30 kernel.  Even that is not
shown at boot time.  I could add the F8 info to the file, although the
ones already in there are not offered at boot time.

  Is there now a special key sequence to access the once familiar boot
menu ?  If I install F11 on a computer that has Windows (although on a
different partition) will it still be possible to dual-boot
Windows/F11 ?
