Debian 8 KVM Guest - Loading initial ramdisk

Thanks to the link @Someone posted in the comments to the question, I was able to pull this content which fixed the issue for me:

  1. on the boot screen (below) press the "e" key to edit the configuration. enter image description here

  2. You will be shown a screen like follows. enter image description here

  3. Scroll down using the keyboard down arrow. You want the line that says linux enter image description here

  4. Add the text console=ttyS0 after the word quiet and then press cntrl + x to proceed enter image description here

  5. Now as root, or using sudo, run the command systemctl enable getty@ttyS0 in order to never have to go through all those steps again.
