You set this with the 'delay' option in /etc/lilo.conf. The number after
the equals sign is the number of tenths of seconds to wait. For example
'delay=10' would mean that LILO would wait 1 second for input, while
'delay=80' would mean LILO would wait 8 seconds. This is a global
option, so comes before all the image sections. See 'man lilo.conf' for
more details.

I think this is the best solution. Make sure is goes in the global
section of lilo.conf...
