Hmm. I can tell you _why_ you would get that error message, but, I just
can't see _how_ you could get into a situation which would occasion this
error.

Can you:

a) the exact URL of the install image you wrote to the USB disk?
b) show the output of these commands (after exiting the installer):

mount
ls -l /dev/pt*

After that, running this should let you proceed with the installation:

mount -t ptyfs ptyfs /dev/pts
