I missed that config option. Is it in config.b?
No, perhaps I should have been more clear. It is a settable
configuration option via sys config skipconfigseconds=#
where # (see kconfig.h) represents:
< 0 : not possible to skip config.sys (no check), and no delay
= 0 : only possible if already pressed before, no delay or message

Additionally ensure BootHarddiskSeconds (another sys config option) is
the default of 0 (or a negative value) so when not booting from a hard
drive it just continues the boot without waiting/prompting the user. A
positive value here will cause a delay, with a default action of booting
from the hard drive instead of the floppy or whatever (useful if you
tend to leave a bootable floppy or CD in the drive but usually want it
actually boot).
