   boot_delay appears to slow down kernel printouts, which is likely to be a   
   bit dependent on how many there are.  Instead I'd use rootdelay=30 to delay   
   the kernel start by 30 seconds, and then it'll boot at full speed.   
      
   (It'll be in the u-boot command line variable not grub.cfg, since this is a   
   non-x86 device)   
      
   In regular Linux you could write a udev/systemd rule to mount the drive(s)   
   when it/they became ready, whenever that might be.  This system is too old   
   for systemd though.
