    It is possible there's a problem in distro_const(1M) when it comes to the USB media.

    What's concerning, however is this:

    > At this point, I thought maybe something was wrong with the r151014 USB installation media, so I downloaded r151012, r151010, r151006 and r151004's USB installation files. Flashed them all (in sequence, working backwards) to a real USB stick and experienced the same problem on all of them.

    Another user recently had a problem with USB, but it turned out it was a bad USB drive on his end.  Please make sure.  Also, and this may be a documentation error, are you writing to the right disk device?
