Thanks for your reply, and please pardon MY late reply to you. In my
newly installed Xserver 4.0 (as part of my 7.1 upgrade), I had white text on
a white background (I could SOMETIMES change part of the screen to Pumpkin

How can I boot with grub into run level 3? How can I change from 4.0
back to Xserver 3.x (I can hardly see what I'm doing!)?

I ended up adding

to GRUB in vi and now it works like a charm :)))
thanks all for the help! apparently with BeOS you have to use a
chainloader, like Windows, and not boot from the kernel as with Linux
or BSD.
anyway, I'm a happy camper now

I started with a dual-boot Windows98/Mandrake 7.1

I have 3 diff OS installed on my machine and want to use GRUB as the
