If I remember correctly, RH7.3 had a choice of LILO or GRUB as the
bootloader.
If you are using LILO, edit /etc/lilo.conf to change the default. Then,
run /sbin/lilo to apply the changes.
If you are using GRUB, edit /etc/grub.conf to change the default. The
change takes effect as soon as you save the file.
