See the readme, create your own bootmenu.conf, see the examples and edit MENU_TIMEOUT.

If you set the root device to include 'ask' like 'ask:mmc2' the boot menu appears always, no need to press menu key. If there is no 'ask' it boots straight from the mmc2 without showing the menu unless you press and hold the menu key.

Unfortunately the bootmenu script cannot read root device so early in startup sequence so the message is always shown. At the time when root device is already known (and script can check for 'ask') it is already too late to show the message only if 'ask' is not there. You wouldn't be fast enough to press and hold the key.

Maybe instead of making the timeout shorter you want to skip the menu at all? Then just remove ask from root device. See
