Hi, I installed Ubuntu Server 10.10 x64 on Virtualbox to test it out. However, after the installation and it asked me to remove the disc and continue to reboot, when the the server restarted I am on the CLI with the yellow shell.

It looks like this:

Shell>

Does anyone know what's the problem with my installation?

Thanks
