Edit /lib/lilo/lilo-pmac.lib, line 242. The single 3 is the number if seconds.

            echo "get-msecs d# 3 3E8 * +"

We should make that a config option.

Jack, is this done? Or should me make it an enhancement for later?

there will be a new config variable 'macos_timeout' pretty soon.
It defaults to 5 seconds currently.
lilo version >= 10.1.21
