>Description:
When I first booted the install CD I was surprised that the delay time is so fast that I can choose any option ! 

After the install the problem was still here, now I must use a big timeout setting in /boot.cfg to be able to choose an option before it boots.

It's a HP Probook 4510s (yes sorry still the same)

 Does this commit fix the problem?

 (related to PR 43156; but it has a decent chance of helping your
 problem too, I think)

 I saw this diff apply to i386 sys sub directory since I'm in amd64 I
 was thinking if it could solve the issue or not. I tried the patch and
 it doesn't.

 i386 and amd64 share the bootloader these days; it probably ought to
 be moved from i386/stand to x86/stand, but without rename support in
 CVS that isn't likely to happen.

 Alas. Oh well...
