Comments/Problems:
I wasn't installing to an HDD, I was installing to a Kingston
DataTraveller 4GB USB stick (all other drives were disconnected
throughout). The install procedure seemed to go fine, but when I
rebooted after it had finished, I got the following printed to the
console (please forgive any typos):
[ 0.232014] PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.
[ 0.235718] PCI: BIOS Bug: MCFG area at f0000000 is not reserved in
ACPI motherboard resources
[ 0.235801] PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)to 100000000 @ 8000-d000
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/mapper/sousbureaux-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
