Hi,

> Is there any mechanism to wait/sleep for a specified time in GRUB?

Not yet.  I will also need this for networking.  Actually, we can do
still in this idle time.  I will get back on this.

You can read the time in milliseconds, IIRC.  You can use that to
check in a loop.  But please do not use busy waiting.  That will give
problems with qemu, etc.
