Right, /root/.profile is run indeed because of su(1) `-l' for all rc.d scripts.
So adding a sleep in there will delay boot up quite a bit. That's something we
may want to revisit.
That said, to make sure it doesn't hide another problem, could you give us more
information about what your .profile does exactly?
