It is the u-boot bootloader. It stops at some input to allow you to
boot another kernel etc. In many ways similar to grub or ntldr on your
PC.
You can disable this in the u-boot settings. See bootdelay setting

Doing these settings is most easily done if you have a serial terminal
allowing you to interact with u-boot. If you don't have this then it
gets a little tricker.
This do not disable messages from being printed on the console port
during the boot process however. If you need the port to be completely
silent then it's likely better to pick another UART port on the
Cubieboard for your device instead of the system console port. Should
be two or three UARTs available on the expansion pins, but some
configuration may be needed to enable them.
