Bug Description
Daily ISOs were not available between 2021-06-17 and 2021-06-17 due to changes related to the switch to zstd for the initrd compression (IIUC).
On 2021-06-23 the impish-live-server ISOs were built again, but fail to boot to subiquity, showing the issue text (Ubuntu Impish Indri (development branch) \n \l) in a loop, with no login prompt. This happens on all the archs. My impression is that subiquity fails to start for some reason, and the system enters a retry loop.
This is easy to reproduce:
1. Download the latest impish-
2. Try to install a VM using it (via virt-install or bare kvm)

This is a bug in livecd-rootfs which assumes all base snaps needed for subiquity are already in the filesystem layer, which is no longer true now that lxd is based on core20.
