This opens a window after the virtual LCD popped up and before the guest
starts to boot so that the user can hit a special key. With the real
device, you would hold down that button before powering on the hardware,
but that won't work with QEMU... :)

Anyway, my bad. I thought Windows understands basic POSIX (at least it
was once certified for it ;) ) - no, I didn't thought at all.

Is there no official delay wrapper in QEMU?
