Bug Description
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.

The upgrade instructions are not up to date yet.
The release notes however do note:
"With the Ubuntu 12.10, ARM desktop images are now standard Ubuntu live images as known from other architectures. To install these images you should have a USB disk as target device."
