the following assumes that your boot loader is grub:
if you go to /boot/grub/ there should be a file called grub.conf
(you need to be root to read it)...
in the file, you should have something like the following:
default=0
timeout=10
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-26.8.0)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-26.8.0 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-26.8.0.img
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
chainloader +1
you need to change the default to point to whichever one you want...
in my case, i default to red hat, so where it says "root (hd0,0)", i
take the 0 from there (i think... correct me if i'm wrong about
that)... if I wanted to default to Windoze, i would say "default=1"
instead of "default=0" because under windoze i have "rootnoverify
(hd0,1)"
sorry this was slightly rambling... i hope it helps though! :)
