Not forever, just a few seconds to compensate for the regression.
seconds!!!!!
The whole kernel boots in half a second!

Oh, absolutely I agree.

That's why I'm not suggesting a DELAY
but rather a TIMEOUT (where it keeps trying up until the timeout).

This exists today. It's just not something Jeff chose to use ;)
(because he didn't need to)

For desktop, it should really just wait forever,
but I can understand situations (server room)
where that would be a Really Bad Idea.

it's called rootwait and such :)
..

No, that's not the same thing.
rootwait has no timeout -- it waits *forever*,
which will break auto-recovery on servers.

We just need it to wait/retry up to a timeout (parameter?).

Thanks
