This is odd, the fix seems to not be working for one of my vms.

you will see alot of entries in middlewared.log up until I fixed the issue.
E.g.
middlewared.log:[2020/03/07 22:50:59] (DEBUG) middlewared.start_on_boot():1214 - Failed to start VM RancherOS: [EFAULT] grub-bhyve timed out, please check your grub config.

Resolved March 10, 2020 at 10:17 AM
Some VMs I have failed to start on initial boot up of the server with:
"grub-bhyve timed out, please check your grub config."
Even though the timeout in the grub file for the VM is set to 0
If the VM is manually started after FreeNAS is up, there is no problem booting the system.
It appears that the 2s second time out is to low and should be a bit higher.
The fix is to change line 280 of:
`/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/middlewared/plugins/vm.py`
from 2 seconds:
```
```python
try:
await asyncio.wait_for(self.grub_proc.communicate(), 2)
```
to 5 seconds:
```python
try:
await asyncio.wait_for(self.grub_proc.communicate(), 5)
```
Could we get this minor change into the next update?
