There is a -t <secs> option to the boot command. It seems however that
there is no possibility to select a specfic entry beforehand. The first
one would be booted.

It should work by setting:
nv boot.default=myboot
With /env/boot/myboot:
#!/bin/sh
boot -m sd.1 -t 3

The barebox environment is a directory tree rather than a list of
variables, so there is no way to load a text file as environment.
There is the loadenv command which takes the path to an environment
image as argument. You can generate such an image on the host
with the bareboxenv tool and then load it under barebox with loadenv.
