Thanks for the suggestion Bruce.  I did try changing the
/etc/default/grub file and then running update-grub, while I was
hunting for the elusive xorg.conf but there didn't seem to be any
change.  I tried it with the display option commented out, not
commented out and set to 640x480, and set to 1024x768 and there was no
noticeable difference while booting.

When the VM machine boots, I see the BIOS, followed by a "Loading
Grub" message (verbiage may be different,) a blank screen for about 5
seconds, the new Ubuntu startup circle graphic, the knight-rider
graphic, and then the login screen.

This is a very low priority item and I'll probably get around to
trying more things sometime next week.

Thanks again for the suggestion.

Brad.
