Hard to automatize that I guess. boot-state isn't just the OS itself -
I guess - butincludes some state of the services running and thus will
heavily depend on your workload.
I'd suggest to go with what Reid suggested. Unfortunately - as I got it 
- the
sequence of scripts just offers an 'and' logic for success and no 'or' 
so you
might have to go with a single script for checking both. It should be easy
to find out for how long the VM is already running and - if that exceeds a
certain value - be satisfied - otherwise check the state of the services ...
Even with just checking the time it might be handy to get around the
extra configuration-complexity going with additional delay-resources.
