Just use <Enter> to start your Ubuntu from Grub, the bootloader. No need for any options.

nope..hitting enter doesnt work...
this is what im seeing:
"GNU GRUB V1.99-21UBUNTU3
Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possibl command line completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions."
makes no sense to me...need to get this working

So you do not see any list of possible systems to start?
If you just see a grub prompt, then the install of the boot loader had failed.

Did you try to just wait like 10 seconds or 30 seconds for the possible autostart? Though i do not know the default setting in Ubuntu.
On the other hand you will not need to go through all the linux newbie blues just to flash the phone properly, just start the CD or DVD and do the essential steps.

Why the heck You think that only way to flash N900 is using Linux?
BTW, for Linux, You can use liveCD/LiveDVd, no need to install, if You don't plan to use it casually.
