Ethernet timeout on boot

Hello,

I have Archlinux set on boot to try and connect to whatever network over eth0 (I think this is set by default).  If there is no ethernet cable plugged in/can't connect, it will keep trying until it times out after 30 seconds and then resume booting.

I'd like to reduce this timeout down from 30 seconds, but I do not know what config file to modify.  I am sure this information is somewhere, but my search-fu at the moment seems poor.

man dhcpcd

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
