You set the default by changing the value on the "default" line:

default         0

0 means the first entry in the list, 1 means the second entry in the list,
etc.  You can also use "default saved" to boot whichever one you booted
last.

If you want to show the menu every time, comment out the 'hiddenmenu'
option by placing a '#' in front of it.
