Hi All,
I'm trying to install XBMC on a newly built HTPC that has no, as of yet, CDROM so i'm trying to install from USB. I've put the .iso on the USB with unetbootin and I can boot into a Live session; however, when I try to install, I run into a problem.
The problem occurs at the step: Detect and mount CDROM. It tells me no common CDROM detected and asks to load modules from removable to which I answer no. Then it asks to manually select a CDROM module and device to which I answer yes. I then switch to another console and mount the usb device using. I verified mounting by and indeed, it's mounted. Then I switch back and specify /mnt as the location, but it tells me installation step failed. I've also tried to specify /dev/sdb, but no dice. I try to skip the install step and move on to Load debconf pre-configuration file, but it tries to read the file from file:///cdrom/install/preseed.cfg which, of course, fails.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Shawn

ls /mnt
