No, it doesn't work for me. What does your linux.conf look like? I have
customized mine for shorter entries: win, mx, mc, and m2. The idea is that win
starts Win98, mx starts Mandrake in X, mc starts Mandrake console (this doesn't
work yet), and m2 starts a completely separate Mandrake install. Here is mine:

boot = /dev/hda
timeout = 200
prompt
  vga = extended
  read-only
other = /dev/hda3
  label = win
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-15mdk
  label = mx
  vga = normal
  append = "mem=124M"
  root = /dev/hdb8
  read-only
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-15mdk
  label = mc
  vga = normal
  append = "3"
  root = /dev/hdb8
  read-only
image = /mnt/mandrake2boot/vmlinuz
  label = m2
  vga = normal
  append = "mem=124M"
  root = /dev/hda7

Something somewhere in my system is overriding the usual controls of whether
Linux boots just to the console or autostarts X. No one knows just what that
is.
