Other workarounds discovered,

a. Enter linux0 at the boot: prompt for SoaS 1-3 installed with Syslinux 4.0
by Fedora Live USB Creator 3.9.3
http://www.mail-archive.com/sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg18957.html

b. replace vesamenu.C32 in the /syslinux folder on the USB device with a
copy from the isolinux folder in a SoaS 1-3 iso file.  This worked for me
with Mirabelle.
