not sure if this is helpful, but just in case, one can get console access to EC instances. There is documentation here:

in the dev. guide under 'Launching and Using…'->'Using Get Console…'

The public AMI is available now: ami-8db95ce4

It turns out the script had an error in the way it reset the root password as well. I have updated it to fix that problem.

I have been planing on doing that but I just haven't had time yet. Maybe by this weekend I can get to it.

Cool. Many thanks for getting this all together and doing such a nice job of publishing it. EC2 is making my head spin. Any chance you could put the resulting small Debian AMI on the Amazon Public AMI site? this link gives full instructions and I’m sure many Debian users would be very grateful!
