[Bug 1241589] Re: ubuntu 13.10 unable to boot on live usb (busy box - initramfs)

[Luuk Paulussen]

Yes, as above I also used a workaround similar to the one above.  I found it here:
http://life.paperblog.com/howto-fix-linux-mint-ubuntu-install-from-usb-failure-drops-to-busybox-328258/
I added LIVEMEDIA=/dev/sdc1

I definitely started looking with the attitude that there was no way
that I was going to remove the hard drives to install my OS.

It looks like something is looking on the wrong disk for the installer.
