18893	Enhancement: CLI flag to sleep host for N seconds	mcandre		"Some legacy operating systems such as OS/2 Warp require floppy diskettes to be inserted before being bootable, with corresponding delays for the data to load. Unfortunately, automation frameworks like Packer do not currently provide a way for the host to sleep during these data loads.

Fortunately, Packer does provide a ""vboxmanage"" section in its configuration, where subcommands like ""modifyvm"", ""storagectl"", etc. can be triggered. Could VBoxManage get a command line option to sleep for N seconds, so that automated VM builds can successfully boot these legacy operating system guests?

E.g., `VBoxManage sleep <seconds>` would suffice."	enhancement	new	other	VirtualBox 6.0.10				other	all
