I understand this was meant to give the user time to press a key on
the keyboard after realeasing enter when running qemu from command
line, and before the emulation starts.  Yes, it's hack but I merged it
because it was quite obvious and the harm from removing it is minor.

Regarding the n800 breakage, I mentioned earlier that it's broken
without a patch posted on this list.  I'll try to come with something
to make it work out of the box.
