Another possibility, from "man boot", section EXAMPLES:

    Remove the 5 second pause at boot-time permanently, causing
    boot to load the kernel immediately without prompting:

           # echo "boot" > /etc/boot.conf

Note that for 4.3 and older systems, boof.conf can be overridden (i.e. not processed) by pressing and holding Contrl when booting. Looking at it now, I see that it's been removed from the -current manpage, so I guess maybe it's not available anymore.

First, this functionality appeared in 4.2, so you won't find it in
every "older system".

Ok, I wasn't sure about that. I thought it'd been along for longer. (I obviously have not used it a lot).

Secondly, it is still in -current man page and the feature is still
here.

Oops. I see now that http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=boot&arch=i386 actually gave me the SOCPPC manpage... And I cannot seem to find the i386 one through man.cgi at all...

Sorry for the misinformation and thanks for the clarifications.
