ISSUE:
After following all the steps in the Kali docs for installing Nvidia Drivers (Link (http://docs.kali.org/general-use/install-nvidia-drivers-on-kali-linux)) and running the supplied commands.
sed 's/quiet/quiet nouveau.modeset=0/g' -i /etc/default/grub
update-grub
reboot
TTY would only give a blinking cursor and would not respond to any input and I was unable to proceed with the installation any further.
SOLUTION:
To solve this issue I removed the line created in /etc/default/grub by the above command and inserted "nomodeset" into GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" ".
/etc/default/grub looks like this afterwards.
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset"
make sure to update grub after making changes to the grub file
update-grub
Just in case it is relevant I am using a GTX 670
