Without having checked it, but is this what you are searching for?

In /boot/loader.conf:

	autoboot_delay="-1"

>From /boot/defaults/loader.conf:

	Delay in seconds before autobooting,
	set to -1 if you don't want user to be
	allowed to interrupt autoboot process and
	escape to the loader prompt, set to
	"NO" to disable autobooting

I'm using autoboot_delay="1" to limit the time which the system
is waiting before continuing the boot process.
