Bug Description
This bug occurs when booting either (1) using the desktop CD (Ubuntu10.04), or
(2) when booting off a USB stick previously created on another machine using the Startup Disk Creator
program (usb-creator) (also Ubuntu10.04).
When booting from either of these sources, the machine actually mounts /dev/sdb4 (as /cdrom) and
I believe it actually boots from that partition.
When I delete the partition /dev/sdb4, and then reboot from the CD or USB stick,
then the machine seems to boot from the CD or the USB stick respectively.
The partition /dev/sdb4 contains the results of yet another failed attempt to install Ubuntu 10.04,
