[Tfug] busy box problem

Guys,

I am trying to help a friend check out Ubuntu on his Sony Vaio laptop. His
cd drive is bad, and I tried to boot into the liveCD via an external DVD
drive, and after choosing "Start or Install Ubuntu" I get put into BusyBox
initramfs. cat casper.log gives "no medium found on dev/scd0"

Does that mean it is trying to run the live CD from the actual cdrom instead
of where it booted from? If so, how would I go about bypassing that, if it
is in fact possible?

Any ideas would be appreciated.
