And if you plow through, eventually you'll get
And then the system will not boot. Well, based on my experience the system will not boot anyway after upgrade, so the post will be continuously updated until I get the system to boot after full update.
Now, it is still slightly stupid to require a physical display to configure timezone, etc. before starting the SSH server, but once you're done...
