Bug#596628: debian-installer: squeeze usb installer doesn't find .iso image

[Miles Fidelman <mfidelman@ntcorp.com>]

Package: debian-installer
Version: squeeze alpha1 USB installer dated 9/10/10
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


I just build a USB key containing the squeeze installer, based on the 
bits currently linked from the debian testing installer page.

After booting, the installer starts up, but when it gets to the point of 
looking for a .iso image, it reports mounting and scanning both my hard 
drives (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb) and the usb stick (/dev/sdc1) - but then 
reports not finding any .iso files.  It then asks if I want to do a more 
thorough search - which exhibits the same failure.

As far as I can tell, by escaping to a shell, it has mounted the USB 
stick (as /hd-media) and there's a .iso image listed under /hd-media.

So... something appears to be very broken.
