passwd for encrypted /root

hi,

my root partition is encrypted and so i have to type the password at 
startup.
but if i don't type it in time, after a few seconds the startup 
continues. rebooting is necessary if i want to work with the system.
so, is there a possibility to tell 10.3 to wait until i have entered the 
password...?
thanks for advice, kind regards,

Yast
System
Boot Loader
Boot Loader Installation tab
Boot Loader Options

Set the timeout to some bizarre value.

i set it to 999 (the maximum) but it didn't help.
i haven't had the heard to set it to 0, but 999 should work too, right? 
at least it should take a bit longer, 20 was default.
any idea?
thanks,

So what happens? How long is the timeout you see?
I'll try and find out what the max value is, seems it isn't documented
anywhere.

ok sorry, i didn't ask correctly:
not grub is the problem (in this menu grub does wait 999secs).
the problem is the booting of 10.3 itself. at a certain point it stops 
and waits for me to type the password for the encrypted /home (and not 
/root as i said before). sorry, my mistake!

i've already had a look into the runlevel-preferences, but i couldn't 
find anything.
but perhaps it is as easy as the time-preferences of grub?
thanks for further help,
