[Bug 1066880] [NEW] 12.10 Beta 2 arm image acts like an ISO not like 12.04

[Francis Ginther]

Public bug reported:

The 12.04 [1] and 12.10 beta 2 [2] Desktop image behave differently. I
was using a pandaboard ES.

The 12.04 version installs in place. That is, as soon as the image is
booted on the device, it will resize the partition, then run through the
language selection, device and user configuration, etc. It does not
prompt for storage because it just uses the boot device.

The 12.10 Beta 2 version acts like an ISO. It just boots (w/o resizing
the partition) and eventually prompts for a storage location and fails
to install to itself. The install process looks almost identical to an
amd64 ISO image.

The 12.04 setup instructions were used for both releases, [3].

This may not be a ubiquity issue, but I didn't know where else to file
it.
