You can add the command 'boot' to the end of your /boot/loader.rc file.
Note, though, that if you do this, you won't be able to boot an old
kernel, or boot into single user mode unless you boot off of a floppy.
Thus, I reccommend that you just set the autoboot_delay variable to
1 or 2 seconds as Sheldon Hearn recommended.
