​I went to my Ubuntu One account and ​imported my Public SSH Key and I was
able to successfully complete the 'Profile Setup'.  I hadn't realized that
my account even required a public key.  So, I'm now pass the 'Profile
Setup' and can use the switch again.

However, I have some concerns about this new feature...

1. I'm concerned that the bootload just "froze" with no indication that it
was looking for manual intervention.
2. I'm concerned that there was no obvious way to bypass this profile setup
and get on with the boot.
3. I'm concerned that network equipment has to be registered to a
particular user that has to have an Ubuntu One account with an imported
public key.  In my particular case, these switches are used by many
developers.  I don't want all the developers forced to create Ubuntu One
accounts and I don't want to give all the developers my Ubuntu One
credentials.
4. When the unit finally booted, I was unable to perform a 'sudo snap
install hello-world'.  I encountered what looked like network errors.  I
rebooted the switch and then was able to 'snap install'.  It doesn't look
like the first boot left the network configuration in a good state as the
boot finished up.
