Hello everybody,

with lastest code from git ipxe takes a long time to show "Press Ctrl-B for
the iPXE command line..." when booted from ISO image. I suppose this is
because of the latest changes to timeout code.

The attached patch fixes this for me and makes ipxe to behave as expected. I
did not take a closer look, so no guarantee this is correct.

"CX:;",b;for(a/*    Chris           get my mail address:    */=0;b=c[a++];)
putchar(b-1/(/*               gcc -o sig sig.c && ./sig    */b/42*2-3)*42);}
