hmm, I think the liveUSB itself would count as a disk, or?  Hard to find
a machine with only CD and no other disks, I guess..  Adding a virtual
disk in virtualbox does workaround the problem.

Bug description:
Using virtualbox-ose on Ubuntu Karmic + Puredyne, with a fresh virtual machine created with *no* hard disk, latest (2009-12-09) -dev iso from rsync fails to boot with an error:

"no root file system is defined: please correct this from the partitioning menu" printed over and over...

ctrl-alt-del => kills an ubiquity process before shutting down.

Removing "automatic-ubiquity" from the kernel boot options line makes it boot to XFCE4 desktop as normal.
