[Bug 913330] [NEW] Installing Ubuntu 11.10 from USB, crashed after pulling out boot disk

[Scott Todd]

Public bug reported:

The BIOS of the computer I was installing Ubuntu 11.10 does not allow
booting from USB flash drives. I inserted a boot disk to enable the live
USB drive to boot and then began installing Ubuntu. Near the end of the
installation, I popped the disk out and the installer crashed. Not sure
if the crash is related to this or something else with either the old
hardware I am installing to, or the live USB, but it seems highly
likely.
