man lilo

  timeout=tsecs
              sets a timeout (in tenths of a second) for keyboard
              input. If no key is pressed for the specified time,
              the first image is automatically booted. Similarly,
              password  input  is aborted if the user is idle for
              too long. The default timeout is infinite.
