Hello: I am attempting to run AlpineLinux 2.6.0 for the first time.  My
only means of an HDD install is via a USB stick to boot from (and then run
the installer scripts afterwards).

I constantly get the error ?Mounting boot media failed".  I've attempted to
follow the steps outlined in the "Troubleshooting" part:

 following screen:

SYSLINUX 4.06 EDD
boot:
[     0.000000] tsc: Fast TSC calibration failed.
