./qemu-upstream-latest -boot reboot-timeout=1000 ... (after boot failed, VM waits for 1000 ms and try to reboot)
reboot-timeout parameter doesn't work now, I found this regression bug was introduced by commit 59d6ca52a7eba5b1f4f2becf70fd446dccaf0a2e

Cache romfile entries. Create a 'struct romfile_s' and populate a list of all romfiles at start of init. Caching the romfiles both simplifies the code and makes it more efficient. Also, convert the ramdisk code to use romfile helpers instead of directly accessing cbfs.
romfile_add() is used to add rom files in the list. When seabios calls boot_fail(), the list becomes empty, romfile_find("etc/boot-fail-wait", ..) returns NULL. it seems the list items are released prematurely.
