This is sensible. At least I remember you could do that in Windows 9x by pressing ESC. Ubuntu 8.04, unlike 6.06, does not show any notifications on the boot splash except for the progress indicator. I don't understand this. I do not use the splash screen anyway (don't understand its purpose) so that all processes are visible. You can even turn off the "quiet" mode in /boot/grub/menu.lst, but it's too much for me.

Basically, you are asking for splashy (which is what OpenSUSE uses). Not gonna happen anytime soon, because it "might" break suspend and hibernation.

@kriukov:
for newbees it very "nice".

@johan:
I know, but I can't get back to the splash screen again!

Have a look at startupmanager - maybe this already does what you want.
