linux enterprise 4 ? I presume you are using Redhat enterprise edition 4.0

You will need to change configuration settings of grub boot loader from inside linux OS to increase OS selection time.

I think, these steps may work - use with caution:

nano /boot/grub/grub.conf

you may find a value timeout=3

change it to 20 or whatever figure you want.

save file and exit

try reboot and verify whether boot menu is working as expected.
