Thanks for the reply Daniel.
I should have noted that the machine did the same thing on initial boot
(lacking boot.conf). Currently, boot.conf only increases the timeout;
it does the same thing with or without a kernel being specified in
boot.conf. If I type in a kernel to use at the bootloader prompt, it
will boot normally without the delay.
You could always try this.
As Nick explain before in the archive. This usually should work no
problem, unless there is a keyboard switch in the path or something
similar, witch you do not right?

Anyway, as you say your system boot if you enter, or press a key, you
can always just try this and see
echo "boot" > /etc/boot.conf
But I would try without the keyboard connected and see and also make
sure your BIOS do not have the wait on keyboard if error setup. Just a
thought there as well. Not sure about your bios, but some old one did
have this in there and if not setup properly, just wait on keyboard error.
So, try without a keyboard and also try the above echo to see.
After that, if it still doesn't work, may be someone else may have a
better suggestion for you.
But I would think that would be the source of the problem, but I could
be wrong. Is your keyboard is USB type by any chance? Not that it should
make a difference, but if so, may be you have something else connected
there that give you the problem.
Best,
Daniel
