No EC2 screenshot for 12.2 ARM AMI Maker

Colin,

I have realised that I have only tested the 12.2 x64 AMI maker on c5 and not the ARM one…facepalm…

Just tried again with ami-03ff07383e4897dd4 on c6gd and a t4g. There is no instance screenshot available. The log fills, and eventually I can connect to the machines—much sooner than on the AMD ones. Perhaps I am connecting too early? I have no easy way to figure out if the install has finished, as I have normally used the screenshot.

Is there a way to check if the install of FreeBSD to /mnt has been completed? The welcome message seems to suggest it is so, but perhaps that is hardcoded. Or would I be unable to ssh until the process has completed?

Many thanks for your pointers.
