OK, is THIS the problem? Then don't babble about disallowing root
login (which is nonsense and your repeating won't make it true
ever). I don't like this default either, but pressing 'a'
repeatedly will get you to the kernel command prompt. And the
problem is not 0 timeout (there is 5 IIRC), but the 'hiddenmenu'
option which makes grub menu invisible.
