Put 'autoboot_delay=3D"5"' in /boot/loader.conf to change it to 5 =
seconds, for example.

The /boot/loader.conf file is not ignored on FreeBSD/arm systems.  As I =
understand it, U-Boot at some point runs ubldr, which is the normal =
FreeBSD loader mechanism that knows how to load the kernel; process =
/boot/loader.conf settings; and so on.  It works on my systems, anyway.  =
(I just tested the autoboot_delay setting in fact.)

Note that U-Boot also has a (3-second?) boot delay.  I don't know how to =
change that.

Cheers,

Paul.=
