The ubuntu image is, "headless," that is to say there is no gui installed. You would need to create an image with all those packages installed if you wanted to use ubuntu. There are instructions on the wiki about creating a bootable image. - As for the android image, you should be using ARMv7a-Gingerbread-Android.SMP.mouse.nolock.clean.img available from http://www.gem5.org/dist/current/bbench/Gingerbread_disk_image_clean.tgz i you don't plan to run bbench. You'll also need the latest development repository for it to work correctly.
The best way to know when the boot is completed is to do whatever it is you're trying to do as a init script in the appropriate directory.
