Works.  The trick is that the server install installed the -generic
kernel.  Once it booted, I installed the -server then the -virtual
kernel.  Neither would boot because of the issue with PAE.

So, the server install is not really the server install I thought it
was.  It was more like installing the Desktop install but without the
GUI.  If one really wants the server kernel, then 'sudo apt-get
install linux-image-server'.

The server install is also a bit bigger than the JeOS install.  JeOS
took up about 350 MB.  The server install takes up about 550 MB.  Not
a big deal, but it's a 60% increase in space for stuff I don't need.
Oh, well.  At least it's working.
