Ok that message comes out of cloud-init. I've added a bugtask for Scott's comments to see if anything can be done in MAAS.

These scroll by, once every second or so, for about a minute before the node continues booting. Although a minute here or there isn't all THAT big of a deal, it would be nice to see this delay go away, particularly for occasions when I have to repeatedly test a node.
