Perhaps I wasn't clear the first time. To interrupt the timer, you
press the <space> bar. You can't edit anything until after that
point.

Yes, you can just edit the menu.lst with any text editor.
/boot/grub/menu.lst is a symlink to /boot/grub/grub.conf, same as

grub-install won't do what you want.
