arch iso cannot boot from external usb cd/dvd drive [Solved]

I have an external usb Samsung speedplus writemaster multi dvd recorder. I use it to install OS on cd-less machines.
I have used it to boot sabayon, mandriva, rescueCD, clonezilla etc., even W....
With Arvh Linux install cd's  both the new and the last ones I am left with a grub prompt telling me about tab completions etc. I have no clue if I can go on from there?:(

Edit: The syslinux version works

yes, this is a bug with grub.  This is precisely the reason we also provide an isolinux installer (see release announcement)
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/11408?project=6 is the ticket.
