Thanks. That's what I thought. Then boot_delay doesn't work as advertised. Try it. I'd be interested to know if it works differently for you than how I described earlier. If you set boot_delay=500, be prepared for a four-minute delay before booting even starts, but when it does, the initial boot messages are indeed delayed by a half second each. However, when init memory is freed, all subsequent kernel messages run at normal speed.
