If you use the grub loader, edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and change the
"timeout=" value to however many seconds you want, e.g. "timeout=30"
for a 30 second timeout.

If you're using lilo, edit /etc/lilo.conf.  Note that the "timeout="
value in lilo is in TENTHS OF A SECOND, so to delay 30 seconds, use a
value of "300".  Don't forget to rerun /sbin/lilo after editing this
file (not necessary with grub).
