Put 'autoboot_delay="5"' in /boot/loader.conf to change it to 5 seconds, for example.
The /boot/loader.conf file is not ignored on FreeBSD/arm systems. As I understand it, U-Boot at some point runs ubldr, which is the normal FreeBSD loader mechanism that knows how to load the kernel; process /boot/loader.conf settings; and so on. It works on my systems, anyway. (I just tested the autoboot_delay setting in fact.)
Note that U-Boot also has a (3-second?) boot delay. I don't know how to change that.
Cheers,
Paul.
