Thank you for your quick reply. :) Unfortunately, no.. the option you are talking about is for limitting or disabling beastie menu waiting time, and i am using the option you mention as well.. I wait to disable a feature one step before that.. before even loading kernel.. i just don't know what exactly its name is.. but it's just at the beginning of boot2 procedure; it waits for 3 seconds for user input and if you press any key, it shows you the prompt i mentioned and so on.. if there is no key-press, the normal process will go on..
