To highlight jleung's comments, what is going on is that generation 2 VM's require UEFI to boot, inform the UEFI boot manager of the OS (via registration of values in the NVRAM). The Ubuntu installer does this at installation time. What jlaeung's describing is converting to "removal" mode.

I suspect that VM's should be installed w/ removal mode by default to support cloning operations. We currently do this on the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS UEFI cloud images.
