I got a warning message: " Root device is not configured to be mounted read-write! It may be fsck'd again later."
This is normal on every Obarun boot.

That was followed by this message from the init system:

This part, of course, is not normal. If you chose the XFCE installation, you should get to the XFCE login manager pretty quickly.
I tried out the JWM iso in a virtual machine to see if I could generate something similar. I did note the same issue you have had with the Obarun-Install icon not functioning. But starting the installer from a terminal as you did, and quickly choosing the defaults along with XFCE gave me no issues with installation and reboot. I did it twice, once with GRUB and once with syslinux as the boot manager.
If you don't mind, try the install again. It's possible that something was in flux this morning with the Obarun repos as you were installing. If there are any other options you choose besides XFCE, it might help with figuring out the issue. And in the meantime, someone might pass through these parts with a better idea about the issue you experienced on boot.
Best, nfg
