 It's been running for 25 minutes now, and still nada on the console:

 $=20
 
 Amazon's EC2 dashboard in the browser shows failed 'system reachability
 check' and failed 'instance reachability check'.
 
 So I'm afraid I can't get any additional information from this instance.
 
 By the way, ami-820fddeb comes up fine for me with instance type
 t1.micro and m1.medium, as well as if I explicitly specify m1.small, but
 not if I do not specify an instance type (in which case I thought it
 would default to m1.small).
