Comment 34 for bug 414996

I can confirm that this still applies to Maverick Alpha 2.

Recap:
- I burned an Mavrick Alpha 2 CD.
- booted from the CD
- for the installation I choose an USB-Stick as the installation partition
- installation was successful
- rebooting without the USB Stick failed

Even worse: the /boot directory of the internal drive was wiped!
I booted from the Alternate CD and had to reinstall the latest kernel manually and then reinstall grub into the boot sector.

Some scripts really seem to be getting confused with the devices the should be dealing with.

I advise anyone to only test in VM's. I currently cannot test VM's due to bug #469419 so I'll resume my testing once something has been committed to fix this issue and this report is closed.
