Update: Fix below
OK so it seems some people have really derpy firmware and are having issues booting.
TL;DR: If you see "/dev/sdb2 already mounted", edit the boot options (tab or e depending on isolinux or not) and replace:
"root=live:LABEL=SolusLive'
with
"root=live:/dev/sdb1"
Likewise if its /dev/sdc2 that reports error, make it /dev/sdc1

Went ahead and burned a DVD on the old Mac lappy. Playing on the AMD MCP now in Live. Go figure. Must be something peculiar about my 3 USB sticks. Will go with install momentarily.Dec 30, 2015
One other thing I found, even on an older laptop with traditional BIOS, boot flag needs to be set.Dec 30, 2015- Successful install from DVD and working well. Very nice +Solus Project and I like that Plank +Horst3180. Thank you all. Onward and upward!Dec 30, 2015
