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.

You won't be able to SSH in until the disk image has been extracted.  I think
the ARM instances are faster (in part because the disk image is smaller).
