I recently used a 9.04 cd to install Jaunty onto my 5gb flash drive (actually its an mp3 player but i can set it to flash drive mode). My Bios can't boot from USB after the latest update so I created a usb boot cd from this guide- http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-boot-cd-for-ubuntu-904/.

Everything seemed to be running smooth. The cd booted up fine and I was able to select to boot 9.04 from USB drive. It seemed to run ok. When it looked like it was about to boot up, I got this...

BusyBox v1.10.2 (ubuntu 1:1.10.2-2ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

How to heck do I fix this??? it's annoying and I need it to go away. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If it matters at all, I am using a Sony Vaio PCG-K37 (IDE) laptop that has no hard drive inside. Just to clarify, this is a full install. not a LiveUSB.
