Yes, that's just example how to do it. You are supposed to edit the file, not just rename blindly to bootmenu.conf. Also you don't need bootmenu.conf file at all, default menu has ext2 for both cards. Still, I could change the example to leave 2nd partitions as ext2.

Timeout is used later for the menu itself (when you set default choice via cal-tool -R ask:youridofchoice), not for triggering it via menu key. If you have troubles hitting it, use cal-tool and set root device to 'ask'.
