Background:
I've recently installed Ubuntu 12.10 on a Toshiba laptop 64-bit machine which has been running Windows Vista for about 5 years. It worked fine. I installed on an aditional partition as well. I attempted to change the appearance of the GRUB menu so that I could easily identify the two versions and so that it would automatically boot the last system used--I also gave the menu a background picture and changed the fount. i made these changes with Grub Customizer 3.04 . somehow I messed things up and the computer would not boot at all. I booted to live CD and fixed things up, so now it boots and the GRUB menu looks fine. But:
I do not get the initial BOIS screen when I reboot which also has options like F2 for setup, etc
I would like to get the screen, though I know it's not critical
Thank you, Reuven
