Ref. No. QNX.000010005

Issue How to suppress bootloader message, "Press ESC for alternate OS...."
Solution Use:

dinit -b -h -m "My new message" /dev/hd1t77

CAUTION: dinit, used with different parameters will re-format the hard disk!

Also there is a 'quiet' version of the bootloader in the Contributed Software  section of our website at:
