 Yes, this is the bootloader menu, which only shows up on some architectures.
 Nothing to worry in this part (maybe we should improve the documentation).
 Your system gets well beyound this part, everything fine.
 
 However, later the boot picks up the wrong root partition (I think) or the
 image you use is somehow corrupted.
 
 Can you please give the exact full url/path of the image you downloaded
 for this? Just to make sure nothing in that image itself is corrupt (I guess
 we would have noticed, but bad things can happen).
 
 Assuming the image is ok, the root partition selection goes wrong.
 On your picture it shows to pick up partition sd0a, which is on usb disk sd0,
 which is called "USB, Disk, 2.60" earlier. It has 32000 MB.
 
 Is that the USB device you used? How did you put the image there?
 
 Are there any other USB (storage) devices involved?
 
 Thanks,
 
 Martin
