Reduce boot-time delay on FreeBSD?
Say for instance, I would like to reduce the delay/waiting time for the boot-time menu from 10 seconds to 5 seconds, how would I go about doing it?
From what I've been able to find, entering "autoboot 5" into the right file would take care of that for me, but the man pages are unclear as to which file it is. Is it /boot/loader.rc or /boot/loader.conf or some other file?
Also, does it matter where in the file it is placed?

drv_usecwait
drv_usecwait(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers drv_usecwait(9F)
NAME
drv_usecwait - busy-wait for specified interval
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ddi.h>
void drv_usecwait(clock_t microsecs);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).
PARAMETERS
microsecs The number of microseconds to busy-wait.
DESCRIPTION
drv_usecwait() gives drivers a means of busy-waiting for a specified microsecond count. The amount of time spent busy-waiting may be
greater than the microsecond count but will minimally be the number of microseconds specified.
delay(9F) can be used by a driver to delay for a specified number of system ticks, but it has two limitations. First, the granularity of
the wait time is limited to one clock tick, which may be more time than is needed for the delay. Second, delay(9F) may only be invoked
from user context and hence cannot be used at interrupt time or system initialization.
Often, drivers need to delay for only a few microseconds, waiting for a write to a device register to be picked up by the device. In this
case, even in user context, delay(9F) produces too long a wait period.
CONTEXT
drv_usecwait() can be called from user or interrupt context.
SEE ALSO
delay(9F), timeout(9F), untimeout(9F)
Writing Device Drivers
NOTES
The driver wastes processor time by making this call since drv_usecwait() does not block but simply busy-waits. The driver should only make
calls to drv_usecwait() as needed, and only for as much time as needed. drv_usecwait() does not mask out interrupts.
