Comment 5 for bug 347458

The same bug in the jaunty kubuntu alternate install cd, i386 arch, booting Asus EEE PC 901.
This bug is really going to be gold - I stepped it also in the intrepid. Is it ever going to be fixed ???

The following does not help:

Mounting the USB stick as /cdrom

This step is only needed for the Alternate install CD and Ubuntu 6.10 or older.

Switch to the second virtual console during the first couple of dialogs (when asked about your preferred language for the installation etc.) by pressing the ""ALT-F2"". Do the following:

    * mkdir /cdrom /dev/cdroms
    * cd /dev/cdroms
    * ln -s ../sda1 cdrom0 (where sda1 is your USB drive)
    * mount -t vfat /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /cdrom
