to clarify my post and correct a typo.  the solution to this configuration would be to use the --timeout parameter for the terminal command that was added on Aug 31 2000 by OKUJI Yoshinori AFAIK.

terminal --dump --timeout=12 console serial

would be all that is needed to fix this problem (available on the 0.9.1 RedHat's grub at least)

(Originally http://bugs.debia ... rt.cgi?bug=175348 )

builtins.c:line 4049, in terminal_func()
  /* If multiple terminals are specified, wait until the user pushes any
     key on one of the terminals.  */

This is a problem.

I like that I can access GRUB through either a serial interface or the console, but when I have it configured that way, it won't boot on its own.  It waits for a keypress before it goes to the boot menu, regardless of what any of the timeout settings are.

the global section of my grub/menu.lst:

timeout 12
default 0
fallback 1
serial --unit=1 --speed=19200
terminal --dumb console serial
root (hd1,0)
