>Description:
I'm booting a Soekris net5501 off CompactFlash which is sliced with fdisk and has boot0sio installed as follows:

boot0cfg -B -b /boot/boot0sio -o packet -s 1 -m 3 -t 20

Something I've noticed is that my net5501 was taking a very long time to boot up when I did not have a serial cable connecting its console to a PC running a terminal app on the line.  Presumably, boot0sio is delaying much longer when it doesn't sense DSR/CTS active.  It takes about 30 seconds to timeout.  If I connect a cable while it is "waiting", it immediately outputs the boot menu and continues per normal.

This doesn't seem right to me. I'm sure it can't be an intentional feature. :)
