There is also a login prompt at 09:35:25. I think the one at 09:36 is
because something appeared (probably the log collection process) to
press Enter.

It's a shame /etc/init.d/osstest-confirm-booted isn't more verbose on
the console, since this is what appears to have failed (i.e. the ssh bit
seems to have worked, so I don't think it was networking/dns/etc).
