Somewhere in the multimegabytes of software archive is an init which does exactly that.  It causes the mac to pause for an adjustable amount of time before it starts booting.  Unfortunatly I don't know what the name is.  Does anyone know the exact name?

I`ll check when I get home.  If I find it i'll let you know.
