No need to edit,

Got too MCC > Boot > Set up boot system.

First option is.
Boot Loader to use:- "Grub with graphical menu."

Change it to "Grub text mode"

I think what you probably want is also to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove the words "splash" and "quiet" from the kernel line.

That can also be removed via MCC / drakboot --boot ;)
