Details:

There are a lot of user questions how to switch to menu when timeout is zero:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/87409/i-cant-get-grub-menu-to-show-up-during-boot

Ubuntu wiki for example have complicated scenario to get menu:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Hidden

Main solution is to hold Shift (or Esc) button pressed after BIOS actions.

I search "info grub" for hold/shift/esc keywords - and doesn'r find anything
relevant.

Please add docs about such behavior!
