Unless someone has the explicit answer to what is the image, or directory, the install.img wants to mount to get the repo, please don't reply.

Mark,
The Anaconda installer Python script is what has (re)mounted the partition at /mnt/isolinux, and Anaconda is looking for the next image to load from the /images/ directory on the DVD (or ISO). My DVD shows the following candidates:
boot.iso diskboot.img minstg2.img stage2.img
Most likely what is missing on the (USB) installation media is either that entire directory /images/ or one of the '.img' files.
After formatting the partitions, Anaconda is probably looking for the 'stage2.img' file to unpack a basic core for the root filesystem so that the package manager (rpm)has enough of a filesystem available to put files in.
Cheers!
