I just got the same result with the 2005-04-04 daily install CD.

(Which, if you followed the conversation that started at the end of bug 1440, I
have now managed to download correctly.)

When I try to mount the cd-rom without -r, it tells me the device is
write-protected and that it is mounting read-only, 3 times.  Then it gives the
invalid argument error.  Likewise, for the thumb drive, the light on the thumb
drive flashes when I issue the mount command.  So, both drives are being talked
to, and at least some of the data from the CD are being interpreted correctly. 
Adding -t iso9660 to the CD mount command doesn't help.

Because of the above, I have no way of transferring the output of dmesg off of
the affected machine.  Here's what's new in dmesg when I

mkdir /mnt
mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt

VFS: Can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev sr0.
cramfs: wrong magic
attempt to access beyond end of device
sr0: rw=0, want=68, limit=4
isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=sr0, iso_blknum=16, blk=16

If you can tell me how to start the network and get a server or client
program to talk to the net, I can transfer the whole dmesg output off.
Likewise, if you can tell me how to partition the hard disk that's
there, it might mount.  I couldn't find fdisk on the boot image (no surprise).
