a little hint:
set a counter while printing, when it reaches 10, read a carriage return from stdin (in my code, it would be '&6' and then proceed.

i8254
ATTIMER(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual ATTIMER(4)
NAME
attimer -- i8254 Programmable Interval Timer (AT Timer) driver
SYNOPSIS
This driver is a mandatory part of x86 kernels.
The following tunables are settable from the loader(8):
hint.attimer.X.clock
controls support for the event timer functionality. Setting this value to 0 disables it. The default value is 1.
hint.attimer.X.timecounter
controls support for the time counter functionality. Setting this value to 0 disables it. The default value is 1.
hw.i8254.freq
allows overriding the default counter frequency. The same value is also available at run-time via the machdep.i8254_freq sysctl.
DESCRIPTION
This driver uses i8254 Programmable Interval Timer (AT Timer) hardware to supply the kernel with one timecounter and one event timer, and to
generate sound tones for the system speaker. This hardware includes three channels. Each channel includes a 16 bit counter which decreases
with a known, platform-dependent frequency. Counters can operate in several different modes, including periodic and one-shot. The output of
each channel has platform-defined wiring: one channel is wired to the interrupt controller and may be used as event timer, one channel is
wired to the speaker and used to generate sound tones, and one timer is reserved for platform purposes.
The attimer driver uses a single hardware channel to provide both time counter and event timer functionality. To make this possible, the
respective counter must be running in periodic mode. As a result, the one-shot event timer mode is supported only when time counter func-
tionality is disabled.
The event timer provided by the driver is irrelevant to CPU power states.
