I'm attempting to install Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS (this system was running Ubuntu Desktop 16.014 LTS just fine).

I installed from USB to the single hard disk on this computer. Then at Software Selection I just select Standard System Utilities, OpenSSH and Basic Ubuntu Server.

The goal of the server is to just be a simple File Server on my local network.

The issue I'm having is after I successfully install, I reboot and after POST all I see is a blinking cursor, and it doesn't seem to take or respond to any keyboard input.

Is GRUB not loading? Or am I missing something? What could be the issue? I haven't made any BIOS changes since it was running the desktop version.

The answer is "...access tty console (by pressing Ctrl+Alt +F*, where F* is any F1 - F6 key)..." (Ubuntu 14.10 booting problems - no login screen)

I suggest they should mention that here: Install Ubuntu Server Tutorial https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-install-ubuntu-server#11 or Ubuntu Server Guide https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/

Maybe I missed it lol?
