Summary:  Would like a text-mode boot option ala LILO

Original Submission:  I apologize if this is just something I'm missing, 
because it sure seems odd to me that it isn't there; in any case, the only way 
I've found to get a text-mode boot (meaning, something that doesn't make my 
monitor "mode-switch"), is to remove menu.lst altogether, which does give me a 
text-mode boot, but just to the grub> prompt.  I'm not looking to go quite that 
minimalist.  :)  What I'm looking for is something that presents information in 
plain text mode, like LILO, but has the same functionality of the current 
pseudo-graphical interface.  I know you can remove the "splashimage" file (I 
already did), but the effect is still the same (although the background is 
blank now :)).
