Well, qemu has a cdrom drive by default and you cant remove it apparently.
So my vm keeps probing the cdrom and failing in the worst case waiting for 30 
second spinup every boot.
I didn't think anyone would consider waiting 30 seconds for a cdrom in 2022.

I left the original value in the comment so it can be reverted to the more 
"correct" value,
but can't we just make it 10 seconds for now?

I think someone needs to make the cdrom drive removable in qemu but I didn't 
have time to look into it.
