Bug Description
i try to install 11.10 i386 desktop from usb flash. i have one installation from cd-rom and use usb-creator with same .iso file that i booted and installed this installation of 11.10. usb creator does something, asks password for erasing flash and for installing boot code, and says that all is done.
i try to boot from this flash drive. i choose to boot from usb drive and it start boots.
i have some time starring at red/white dots and it throws me to busybox with report, that it can't found live media, also, if i press ESC during starring at dots - i can see this repeating message: can't open /dev/sdb no medium found.
i try to investigate this problem, but got nothing. also, a want to say, that my bios has not any tunable parameters instead of password for booting =) i can't disable cdrom or change ahci/sata or anything =)
