this problem goes back to our very first boot some six years ago.
Amazing.
ATA has outrageous boot delays. I'm sorry to see that SATA has them
too.
I have no good idea how to fix this, unless we can train FILO to know that we're coming into boot from power on reset.
What's needed here? Just keep on polling until either a couple more seconds are gone or we finally start seeing the drive?
What features does the etherboot filo have that the official one does not? I'd like to merge those, as file-pre-0.5 has a lot of interesting stuff that never went into etherboot (and etherboot is a pita to build compared to filo at least)
