Hmm, I am not very familiar with the kFreeBSD boot process, but this value is normally set in the FreeBSD loader; on stock FreeBSD it would be in /boot/loader.conf .
My understanding is that if that new value is read, the kernel should force a delay of that long on the entire boot process, which cannot be skipped prematurely.When exactly should it do this delay? Is it handling USB events during that time?
It should delay during the device probe stage of the boot process (though I don't remember exactly where).
Sorry I don't have all the details relevant here; hopefully someone else on debian-bsd will chime in.
