We have a timeout of 1 minute there.
Since all VM has to do is run BIOS initialization
and then write out the signature, this seems ample.

I'm reluctant to wait forever there, that would make
debugging harder in case of failures.
Does it help if you increase TEST_DELAY?

If it does we can do this, though I suspect this is merely
a work-around, there's probably something that
causes QEMU to pause execution during early BIOS boot.
Could you try strace to see what it is?
