Set boot prefs?

[Loek]

OK I found it
open the Bootx extention in the System/extentions folder with ResEdit (see
hyperlink below)

You will see icons that represents all the parts that the BootX extention is
made from

dubble click the icon with the name "STR#"
A new window will open. The line that sets the boot delay will be clearly
visible: its called "Boot Delay" (HOW CONVENIENT!!)

dubble click the line and edit the string to any number of seconds you would
like

good luck
