Unhappy Install from USB drive. What to type at Grub>?


Hi, I'm working through the night on site (in Manila) and need to load Ubuntu Server on a system. The problem is that I have no blank CD-R's on which to burn the iso!

What I've attempted is to use UNetbootin from Sourceforge to copy the image to a thumbdrive and make it bootable.

I think I've now got the bios setup properly to see both the thumbdrive and boot from it, but the problem is that instead of booting to the installer like the CD does, this boots to the Grub prompt and I have no idea what to type.

Please can someone give me some pointers there?

Thanks - I'll carry on poking around with it until you reply and will update this if I make any progress :-)
