Bug Description

When running Maverick Alpha 3 from a USB device (created with "Startup Disk Creator" on Lucid), the system does not boot up.

An error saying that there is an invalid option in config file is shown, and the system does not startup.

If I type a command (for example "help") before the system tries to load and then press Enter it boots. But it enters directly on live CD mode (and does not ask if I want to Test or Install).
