With the introduction of plymouth, boot-time messages from startup scripts are no longer displayed above the login prompt on tty1. Instead, they are all output to tty7 and on Ubuntu Server, can be viewed after boot by pressing Alt+F7. On all systems the boot output can also be found in /var/log/boot.log.
On new installs of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server, no boot splash screen is shown by default. While this provides server administrators with more immediate feedback about their system while booting, it also prevents prompts from reaching the user in the event of filesystem mounting failures. Users can add the splash option to /etc/default/grub if they prefer to always see the splash screen.Hotkeys for interacting with mountall will still work without the splash screen, but are not discoverable: C to cancel a running fsck; M to request a maintenance shell; S to skip an unavailable mount; and F to try to fix errors found by a fsck.
