[Bug 882343] [NEW] usb-creator creates broken install usb sticks

[Vany]

Public bug reported:

i try to install 11.10 i386 desktop from usb flash. i have one
installation from cd-rom and use usb-creator with same .iso file that i
booted and installed this installation of 11.10. usb creator does
something, asks password for erasing flash and for installing boot code,
and says that all is done.

i try to boot from this flash drive. i choose to boot from usb drive and
it start boots.

i have some time starring at red/white dots and it throws me to busybox
with report, that it can't found live media, also, if i press ESC during
starring at dots - i can see this repeating message:  can't open
/dev/sdb no medium found.

i try to investigate this problem, but got nothing. also, a want to say,
that my bios has not any tunable parameters instead of password for
booting =) i can't disable cdrom or change ahci/sata or anything =)
