I attempted to install the subject using a 8GB USB flash drive after 
failing to install from the F13 alpha DVD ISO. My second attempt failed 
in the same way as the alpha ISO.

Installation Steps
1. # livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr Fedora-20100315-x86_64-DVD.iso /dev/sdd1
2. Booted system and started installation.
3. Answered language prompt.
4. Answered simple hard drive setup.
5. Checked my hard drive from list.
6. Clicked "Reinitialize" when prompted.
7. Presented with a window that says anaconda could not find install 
media on UUID=DD53-6774.
8. Only option is to click "Exit Installer"
9. Left at a blank screen with free cursor. System does not reboot, 
shutdown, or allow any keystrokes.

My boot parameters:
initrd=initrd.img repo=hd:UUID=DD53-6774:/

The Fedora-20100315-x86_64-DVD.iso file lives on the root of the flash 
drive.

blkid reports:
/dev/sdd1: LABEL="8GB-A" UUID="DD53-6774" TYPE="vfat"
(/dev/sdd1 lives on another system, does not exist on system I am 
installing to)

What am I doing wrong? :(

Note: I usually use a 4GB drive, as I used for F13 alpha, but the custom 
ISO generated was a few hundred megs too big to fit on it.
