This should (partly) fix installation from boot.iso dd'ed on USB.
The BZ from comment is for Fedora, there is also corresponding rhel6 BZ
(#549398), but see note (2) below.
(1) If not specified in stage2= parameter, stage2 had to be set in UI which made
(due to invalidRepoParam set to 1 in hdinstall.c) --repo parameter for stage 2
reset from stage2 ("hd:...") whereas in this case (boot.iso) the parameter is
expected to be empty (meaning: use the repos in /etc/yum.repos.d).
(2) boot.iso options for rhel contain askmethod anyway (unlike in Fedora) so
stage2 will be set in UI anyway and thus --repo will be reset from
stage2 value to "hd:..." again
(3) UI asking can happen also if the usb device is not settled yet when trying to
mount stage 2.
(4) I couldn't came up with any case of "stage2=hd:" case where we wouldn't
want the proposed change (the default).
Another option to approach the bug could be to append "/images/install.img" to
"hd:LABEL="XXX" in buildinstall.
