set the timeout lower ..... I'm not sure, look at the /etc/conf/* scripts, or /etc/rc ..... one of those has a options part to pass to dhcpcd .... read the commands info page to find out what option will change the timeout time, then just add it in the script, and uncomment the line (if it isn't already)
