It would be an interesting option. Sometimes, for hardware, you really
want it to wait with the error message on the screen for a while so
you can tell what happened. At the same time, there's nothing more
annoying than having it wait forever when you know the hardware
finally is ready for a boot ... Perhaps it would be possible to set a
reasonable optional timeout and then have it reboot or, better, just
redo the hardware scan and try again.
