Bug Description
Install the Quantal beta from a USB key
The last step is a popup window prompting you to reboot
Pull out the USB key
The popup window will dissapear leaving just the background image
At this point the machine is pretty much unusable.
Going out to a console results in a stream of errors about SQUASHFS:
SQUASHFS error: Unable to read data cache entry [3be4a4f]
SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block 3be4a4f, size 7bbc
I would expect to be told not to remove the install media at this point if bad things will happen, or for bad things not to happen if I do.
Either way, I would expect to be given the chance or be prompted to remove the install media before reboot, so as not to boot straight back into the installer following the reboot.

The popup window prompts to click reboot or continue. It does not prompt to pull out the USB key.
You are requested to take installation media out, much later after the desktop disappears and shutdown procedure is initiated.
Can you please take a photograph or a screenshot of the popup?
