Comments/Problems: USB installer could not find .iso image
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.
