It is strongly recommended to search the list archives before posting
a question since it might have allready been answered once, (or
several times in this case).

You need to edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the value
after the keyword "default", usually found in the first few lines of
the file. In order to know what number to use, you can do something
like:

$ grep ^title /boot/grub/menu.lst
title           Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.8.1-3-386
title           Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.8.1-3-386 (recovery mode)
title           Memory test

These are numbered internally by GRUB in the same order; meaning that
the first OS (first line) is numbered 0, the next one is numbered 1
and the last one ("Memory test") is 2.

So if I for some reason wanted the memory test to be my default boot
option I would change to row:

default 0

In menu.lst, to:

default 2

Good luck!
