URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/257821

Log:
  Extend loader_delay as-documented in beastie.4th(8) and delay.4th(8), making it available to architectures that do not use or load the beastie
  menu. This is reported to save headaches on some PPC systems where unload
  followed by load does not produce the desired results wherein if-given
  the opportunicy to abort the initial loading sequence, you can customize
  the first load.
