Please reply here, and if you observe the same problem as the reporters, add your details to the bug report (also test the 'basic graphics driver' choice, and report whether you used rc3 or rc4, and x86-64 or i386). Thanks! Downloaded boot.iso (i386) and went into graphical mode fine once I gave it the path to install.img.
