Once you hit a key on the keyboard, you've stopped the timeout. If you're
typing on the keyboard, you can just type "boot" (or just "b") to boot it.
You don't need a timeout.
If you put your com0 settings (or whatever else) into boot.conf, then you
don't need to type anything and the timeout applies and it'll boot on its
own.
