Maverick Alpha 3 UNE - LiveUSB won't boot

[crjackson]

After installing a fresh copy of the Alpha 3 ISO to a USB stick, I find that I get a Loading linux text screen, and then a prompt of:

Boot:

Nothing else happens and I'm not able to continue booting or installing to my Gateway and/or HP Netbook.

Leo,

This is not a bug in the Linux package.

Maverick has an issue & 10.04 usb creator. If you are stuck at the
"boot:" prompt. It's a simple fix to get the 10.10 installer media to
boot.

On the installer media you want to edit syslinux/syslinux.cfg. Change
the last line from :

"ui gfxboot bootlogo"

to

"gfxboot bootlogo"

I'm marking this as a duplicate of the main report about this USB-creator discrepancy.
