In BSD 3.4 does boot -s support a timeout parameter i.e. 5 seconds or 3
login attempts &
the keyword insecure in /etc/ttys
I ran
echo "boot -s" > /etc/boot.conf
edited /etc/ttys and changed the line below:
console "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 off secure
to:
console "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 off insecure
I get prompted for the password to go to single user or Ctrl-D for
multi-user.
Question: Is insecure working or is boot -s doing everything?
PS: the closest thing I could find is

Instead, on both OpenBSD and FreeBSD edit the file /etc/ttys and change

In other words, remove secure status flag. Then, on boot -s you'll be
asked for a root password.
To add to what I said before. On FreeBSD one can also use "insecure"
above, but not on OpenBSD (as far as I know). The above form should work
on both though (I probably could say NetBSD also, but I do not use it
and cannot be sure)
