Steps to reproduce

Boot PsychOS486 liveCD image on Toshiba Satellite Pro 460CDT

What is the current bug behavior?

Shortly after proceeding with the bootloader, an error message appears:

ldm_validate_partition_table(): Disk read failed.

a short time after this message another one appears:

Loading drivers needed to access disk drives Searching for Puppy files....puppy_slacko_5.3.1.sfs not found. Dropping out to initial-ramdisk console...

and after that it drops me into initram console.

What is the expected correct behavior?

It should've booted into desired command line interface/installation wizard/gui interface

Relevant logs and/or screenshots
