In fact, I think the above errors are neither related to the USB image itself. Installer logs will tell where the errors come from. >>> Since Scott said "dvd-rom" I'm wondering why the small image was >>> written to that type of disc.

The testing installer image may be suffering from specific bugs/problems, you can try with daily or weekly images or even with unstable installer to avoid any glicth.
