system installation - 16.04 Installer Crash and “No Bootable Device” with Acer R11

The trouble in Installer Crash and "No Bootable Device" with Acer R11 is nearly identical except for the version and the fact that it has no cd drive - must use USB install. I can "try ubuntu" (doing so now) but after installing the system won't boot, saying "No bootable device". I tried following Trashman's answer there: "will work from USB if you add the acpi=off option to the boot command, both before and after the -- delimiter. . ." but when I get into grub I cannot find any line as described to edit.



I'm stuck here since I ran the install immediately on a brand new computer (arrived today) to replace Windows 10 (with no way to back up the OS before wiping it). I would have simply continued the discussion in the 14.04 thread I referred to but lack sufficient reputation to comment (due to spam answer problems there).
