I confirm this method works too. I have a SB700 based motherboard, and with beta and RC I have exactly the same issue if I try to boot with a live USB key.
And the first time I try to unplugged/repluged USB key when the upslash appears was the good one ! Just before the upslash, it seems I have get a message invoking a "ata1 softreset" or something like that, and during the upslah (if I do nothing), Jaunty seems to look on other disk but not on the USB key (no LED activity). Anyway, thanks for this temporary solution !
