The boot menu details is specified by the 'timeout' entry in syslinux/syslinux.cfg on the boot device.  It is a text file, but make sure you edit using an editor that understands Linux end-of-line (e.g. notepad+).

Assuming you are on v6, this can be edited in the webGUI. From Main, Boot Device tab, click on Flash. Then from the Flash device page, Syslinux Configuration tab, edit the boot menu as desired.

Thanks guys:

 

For anyone else looking at this then the line in the file is  'timeout 50'

Setting it to 0 meant the machine didn't automatically boot

Setting it to 1 meant is booted immediately

Sorry for resurrecting this but what does the 50 mean? Because the boot splash screen does not stay for 50 seconds by default.

 

edit: I respond myself. "The timeout value is in tenths of a second. The default is 50, or five seconds." So a timeout 1 would mean 0.1 seconds and not 1 second. For 1 second I should write timeout 10

TIMEOUT = Time to wait to autoboot in 1/10 secs. zero (0) disables the timeout
