I can think of multiple ways. "fsysopts /dev/cons" for example would
tell you whether the translator is running. Or you could just do "ls
/dev/cons/kbd" or so to see whether it created the nodes. Or simply "ls
/dev/kbd" -- the symlink is broken until the devices are there.

But if a sleep doesn't help, I doubt an explicit wait will. The console
client doesn't really need long to start up. I suspect the problem is
elsewhere.
