For BSD/OS systems, creating a /etc/boot.default file which loads /bsd explicitly and does no -pause or -waitnl commands will force it to boot the specified file with no chance for operator intervention. As configured by default, the /etc/boot.default file does not load a kernel, and the boot program will pause for 5 seconds allowing it to be interrupted before loading the default kernel (/bsd).
