Changing the default starting OS

In addition to my account problems on one of my open box load balancers it seems the other one is always picking the Older OS in Grub when it boots up. Is there a way to set the loader to use the other one with out using im and re-imaging a partition?

    That worked perfect. Thank you. I forgot about all these tools that F5 has to manage the backside system, I have spent to much time in the system world lately. Luckly new job has me back in the network gear where I belong.
