The idea was to stop waiting when all the SCSI buses had been scanned -- but there's no way to know when that occurs because new buses can be added at any time. Maybe a better approach would be to poll at reasonable intervals (HZ/10, for example) for the existence of the root device. If it hasn't appeared after some reasonable time (30 seconds?) then give up.
