You can check if your configuration includes CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
(see doc/README.autoboot).  In this case you should still be able to
stop the boot process by continuously hitting a key during startup.

If this is not the case, then you'll need to use the tool to change the
U-Boot environment from Linux.  For details see tools/env/README.  When
you have this working, simply adjust bootdelay again.

Cheers
