I am trying to boot several live USBs that I created using rEFInd's boot entry. I get the following error:

ERROR: '/dev/disk/by-label/' device did not show up after 30 seconds...
Falling back to interactive prompt
You can try to fix the problem manually, log out when you are finished.
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[rootfs ]# _

I ran into this error regardless of:
(1) the distribution .iso used (I've tried Solus, Manjaro, and Ubuntu);
(2) the USB used (I've tried USB 2.x and 3.x by different manufacturers);
(3) the method used to create the live usb (I've tried Etcher, dd, gnome-disks, and Fedora image writer); or
(4) computer used (I've tried a PC and a Mac).

Notably, if I use the native boot loader for the PC or Mac, the live USB boots. But if I try to boot via rEFInd using the entry that it shows, I get the above error.

I have seen this error in a number of forums (e.g., 1, 2, 3), but no one seems to specifically address the rEFInd angle. So I am posting here with the hopes that someone (Rod if he is around) can help.
