What stage of booting does this happen in? If it's during the initrd 
stage (before the main system is started), you'll need to build a new 
initrd in order for the 'sleep 1' command to be effective. Making a new 
initrd for a system that's not running is tricky.

Can you verify if this error is during the initrd operation or not?
