How do I add time in the boot process to slow down a host from booting?

I have a problem with some boxes where the external storage device takes a while to finish spinning up all the drives and the host complete's booting before the storage device does. Thus the vm's on there aren't accessable unless I restart the host. In Windows you can add start menu time to stop the OS from going through it's post. How do I do this in Linux to accomplish the same thing?

Change the /etc/grub.conf file.

By default there is this line:

timeout=10
