I tried that delay(2000) and 4000 without the DEGUG and it booted farther
with 4000.  I got as far as my xdm login screen and then left me with
a frozen keboard. (couldn't login)  so now I'm trying 5000 to see what happens.
When I tried 2000 it froze at the same old spot "adbo at obio0"
It does seem to have an effect.
