Just wanted to share my view. Have been working with vmware vsphere for a number of years and when dealing with a few hundreds of vm's, setting a boot delay on each is not a good way to handle this issue IMHO. Besides, this setting affects all sysadminsand might not be what everyone wishes. I think the runonce function is great and do not want that removed.
