This is causing me a real problem in autotesting. Its why there is an
initial long pause in the autotesting videos.  The only reliable work
around I found was to wait 100 seconds. I tried anything to reliably
eliminate this problem - higher resolutions etc.  If I do not set this
pause qemu will crash the vnc server.

Its worth noting that I found webconverger - with its grub menu does
not appear to suffer from this problem. So perhaps the Macbook could
be tested against webconverger ?
