Choose boot media as USB during install

Registered by Matheus Pacheco de Andrade

Many times people install Ubuntu in removable USB HDs.
As default behaviour, Ubuntu doesn't call usb drivers early in boot time, so it doesn't work.
I propose a checkbox in install time asking "The receiving media is USB?" that would allow the installer to do all the work automagically, without the hassles of live cd booting and chrooting and rebuilding initrd that is needed nowadays.
