The delay comes from the slow "KCS" (keyboard controller) interface.

This is done asynchronously, but netbsd-9 will still wait for all
autoconfig operations before continuing the boot. In netbsd-10
it no longer waits for ipmi to finish attachment (but may do so
at shutdown if that occurs very early).
