Yeah, *that* is an amazing failure in the ASR920 platform...  it boots
up to a point, then sits there doing "nothing" (nothing visible, at least)
for 10+ minutes(!!!!), and then goes on as if this were to be expected.

And then it decides to do boot rom updates, sets an env flag, reboots
(with the 10+ minutes pause).

And then it is done, and reboots again (with the 10+ minute pause).

Truly amazing handicraft.  45 minute downtime for an IOS XE update.
