You want to set the timeout to .. well, nothing.  The file is 
/etc/yaboot.conf -- and after editing it, you need to run ybin -v to 
save it to the bootstrap partition.

This is assuming the fruity colored macs, or "new-world" -- with the 
old-world (beige) macs, you need to use bootx, or quik.  (I've never 
been overly successful with quik, it's sorta hit and miss if it will work)

I think the older macs used a bootx variant, miboot -- which I have no 
experience with.

I'm still trying to find time to play with debian and get it installed 
instead of yellowdog.  I just don't have enough hours in a day... :(
