It looks like these images are not configured to set up a console on
the virtual serial port, which makes it impossible to get at console
output in environments like EC2 that don't provide graphical console
access, and annoying in environments like OpenStack where maybe
you would prefer text over graphics because you can log it/grep
it/etc.

We should probably update the images to include:

    console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8

This would match the typical configuration for other cloud images
(e.g., the centos 7 cloud image).

Does that sound reasonable?
