Title:
  Grub shouldn't require a keyboard to boot headless server

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Currently on 14.04 and I've been effected by this issue just now:
  http://serverfault.com/questions/243343/headless-ubuntu-server-machine-sometimes-stuck-at-grub-menu?newreg=053b819f155745568d88e6fb42f45671

  I've experienced this across the releases as far back as I can
  remember but it meant I couldn't access my server until I had physical
  access to it.

  I installed from a standard desktop image, not the server specific one
  as this machine evolved from an Ubuntu production machine to an Ubuntu
  file server since 2006.

  It's reasonable to expect to be able to administer a machine remotely
  and I think this issue should be high or critical.
