If I understand your question, you could put the following line in your
/boot/loader.conf file:
autoboot_delay="0"
I think this will effectively prevent users from interrupting the loader
to make changes. Just make sure that you have some other way to boot
the system, such as a floppy, in case you later run into problems.
