The watchdog value is 10 seconds, so a default of 15 seconds in the wd1100
module should be enough. Seems like a good idea to me to change the
compiled in timeout.

In the mail sended by Paul Traina on a different matter, he wrote that
"reboot=bios" can also be used in syslinux.cfg instead of the wd1100
module. But I'm not sure if that works with every WRAP BIOS version.
