any way to stop boot2 from waiting for keypress at system startup

[takCoder]

Thank you for your quick reply. :)

Unfortunately, no.. the option you are talking about is for limitting or
disabling beastie menu waiting time, and i am using the option you mention
as well..

I wait to disable a feature one step before that.. before even loading
kernel.. i just don't know what exactly its name is.. but it's just at the
beginning of boot2 procedure; it waits for 3 seconds for user input and if
you press any key, it shows you the prompt i mentioned and so on..
if there is no key-press,  the normal process will go on..

Best Regards,
t.a.k
