this was cd image installed onto a usb stick.
also, had an SD card w/ an image on it inserted, but machine won't boot from it, so was booting from the usb stick.
even though it won't boot from it, the SD card shows up as /dev/sdb (and /dev/sdb1). Even though it will boot from it, the usb stick doesn't show up as /dev/sd*.
