Glad it helped. I tried out the Snapshot 1 liveusb, and
was puzzled when it didn't work; My original post to
those bugs was based on /sbin/dosfslabel (it was a vfat stick).
I'm curious - what *was* the label reported? How did you
create your live boot? I'd used the "livecd-iso-to-disk"
tool, latest F11 version to put the live iso's on to a USB
stick .. and ended up with labels "F12-i686" and "F12-x86_64".
Some tool somewhere is mucking this up. I don't know if
it's the .iso creation on the fedoraproject side, or the
livecd-iso-to-disk from the livecd-tools package (or some
sort of tool inconsistency).
