## Observation
We can see [here](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/8492975#step/first_boot/1) that the system is at login prompt, with an IP address : boot has completed, and yet it looks right after like we cannot log-in because system did not finish booting. In another run where this happened, there is no IP at login prompt : https://openqa.suse.de/tests/8552922#step/validate_user_login_textmode/4. But despite it, we are able to attempt an ssh connection, so the guest has some networking at that point. This is confusing, but could happen because network target is delayed to to slow/malfunctioning network.
The issue is likely due to an unstable network or a product bug, see also the [comments](https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/109719#note-6) from a likely related issue. After investigation, if we believe that the way to go is to wait more or retry, then we could implement such workaround.
**The issue is sporadic**, I tried 10 runs, in a row, it happened twice.
