Yes that sounds like a broken disk or similar. Btw, basicly the distribution is in /, so you can just browse to / and exit (and you end up in / when you start 'browsing') - but iirc you cannot just enter / because there is a mountpoint in front. (imho)
So the fastest method of selecting the distribution is to 'browse' and imedietly exit the little-shell.
