The same thing occurs with SOAS Mirabelle

I am using Unetbootin release 372

I tried modifying syslinux.cfg as suggested in 
https://answers.launchpad.net/soas/+question/95622

I modified

the line
append initrd=/ubninit root=live:CDLABEL=Fedora-14-i686-Live-SoaS 
rootfstype=auto ro liveimg quiet rhgb rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM

to

append initrd=/ubninit root=live:CDLABEL=Fedora-14-i686-Live-SoaS 
rootfstype=iso966o ro liveimg quiet rhgb rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM 
selinux=0

Still produced the error

  ---------
No root device found
Boot has failed, sleeping forever
---------

Suggestions are welcome
