Did you do something other than run createinstallmedia from the installer 
app?  If you copy an existing installer, make sure you copy the entire 
drive and not just the volume.  The OS is incapable of fully booting from 
a volume (as I've found out the hard way).

If it was just about running fsck for minor problems, why not just boot 
into single-user mode?
