Syscons option.  Strangely enough, it gives you a Fat Cursor.

Obviously, a delay for SCSI devices.  The value is obviously pessismistic
(that's what the comment says).  Do you have any SCSI devices?
(And if you don't understand what J. Random SCSI Device is, then you're a
disgrace as a hacker 8)

Here's a hint :  You have the source code.  Go read it.
