How long about, should this take for the ssh key? Also, is it for sure that there will be no output on HDMI whatsoever in headless mode? For some reason I was thinking there should some output but no desktop such as something in the way of x.

There will be no HDMI output at all with a headless configuration, since the reason it is called headless is that the FPGA design does not have a HDMI controller! Although I appreciate that this could be a cause of confusion as in the wider sense "headless" can be used to mean simply no KVM attached.

Somehow, and I have no idea when or how this happened but: I saved the putty profile set to telnet rather than SSH.

This was 100% operator error, but I think the discussion on 'no KVM vs headless' is great.

Thanks for all the help! Now I just need to decide what I am going to do with a super computer!!!

My board is up and running. I had a large delay in trying to get the board booted because of school work and then work. I plan on getting a high quality 16 or larger SD card and getting the gui going.

Ah, good old PEBKAC — we've all been there (I'm there too often!)
