grubonce does not work

[peter pilsl]

I used to use lilo for many many years but now my new suse10 offered me 
to install grub and so I gave it a try. It works fine, but I fail to use 
grubonce which is very important to me.

As far as I can see the usage of grubonce is fairly easy:

I run grubonce to see what entries are available to boot:

# grubonce
0: SUSE LINUX 10.0
1: Windows
2: Failsafe -- SUSE LINUX 10.0
3: Memory Test

and then I pick the one I like to boot from. Lets say I like to run 
Windows, I just enter

# grubonce 1
Using entry #1: Windows


well, then I enter reboot on my system and the system reboots, loads 
grub and ... start linux again if I dont manually pick windows.

Whats wrong?

I am free to add the content of what I think are the important files for 
grub:

----/etc/grub.conf---------

root (hd0,1)
install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0,1) 
/boot/grub/stage2 0x8000 (hd0,1)/boot/grub/menu.lst
install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) 
/boot/grub/stage2 0x8000 (hd0,1)/boot/grub/menu.lst
quit

---/boot/grub/menu.lst------

thnx for any idea,
peter

ps: is there a grubonce for windows too?

pps:
If possible please CC any answer to my private adress too, cause the 
bug-grub-list-daemon has not yet sent me the confirmation-mail for 
subscribing to the list (and I wait already 30 minutes) so I fear I 
might miss any answer.
