I'm new to Ubuntu. I got 9.10 UNR and made my USB bootable drive. The first screen pops up with options:
try Ubuntu
Install Ubuntu
mem test
hard disk test
advanced options
etc.
I choose to install.
It starts up and then the logo comes up and disappears and then i would expect an the installer to start but this comes up:

(initramfs) BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu7) multi-call binary

Usage: mount [flags] DEVICE NODE [-o options,more-options]

Mount a filesystem Filesystem autodetection requires /proc be mounted.

Options:

-i Don't call /sbin/mount.<filesystem> helper
-r REad-only mount
-t fs-type Filesystem type
-w Read-write mount (default)
-o option:
loop Ignored (loop devices are autodetected)
[a]sync Writes are asynchronous / synchronous

remount Remount a moujnted filesystem, changing its flags
ro/rw Moount for read-only / read-write

There are EVEN MORE flags that are specific to each filesystem
You'll have to see the written documentation for those filesystems

Can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow
