I'd say there's no reason you should have to run a script to set the
timeouts every time you boot. :)

How about this -- make them sysctl variables and kernel options, like the
CD changer timeouts in the CAM CD driver.  So, you can tweak the timeouts
while the system is running, and then once you've got them the way you want
them, you can put them in your kernel config file.
