 The following suggestion was graciously provided by Titus Manea (titus
 at buko dot edc dot ro):
 
     Hi,
     If you didn't solved the delay yet 
     just add
     hint.atkbdc.0.disabled="1"
     hint.atkbd.0.disabled="1"
     in /boot/device.hints
     i traced the problem to console init and since these boards do not
     have ps/2 ports it probably takes the kernel some time to figure this out
       
 
 
 This is the answer!   Titus also pointed out that the symptom affects
 amd64 as will as i386.
 
 Thanks Titus!
 
 From my perspective, this ticket may be closed.  (I'm assuming that the
 observation I made of similar behavior occasionally happening with
 VMware is not related).
