Regardless, it still fails to find or mount the CD, and therefore to install
ubuntu. When I go to VC2 and type:

mkdir /tmp/foo
mount -r /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /tmp/foo
It says:
mount: Mounting /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 on /tmp/foo failed: Invalid argument

There's nothing new on VC4 when I do that. It also won't mount my thumb drive,
same error.

When I tell the installer screen on VC1 to try mounting it again, the error is:
Apr 4 19:40:52 cdrom-detect: CDROM-mount failed (error=1):
device=/dev/cdroms/cdrom0
It does that twice, with the usual messages about retrying, unmounting, and
giving up.

I tried mounting the device file that the cdrom0 link points to directly, same
error. Ditto for the thumb drive.
