(Answer) (Category) SCO UnixWare 7/OpenUNIX 8/OpenServer 6 FAQ : (Category) System Administration :
Where do I set autoboot time, after which the system goes multiuser?
You can set the variable AUTOBOOT=15 in the file /stand/boot to set the autotimeout at 15 seconds, instead of 5 seconds. This is the number of seconds that the splash screen will stay up before autobooting the system.

You can also set a variable called TIMEOUT=60 in /stand/boot to set the number of seconds to 60, that the computer will wait at a boot: prompt before booting. Normally the computer will wait indefinitely (TIMEOUT=0) if the user presses a key during the AUTOBOOT delay and causes the boot: prompt to appear.
