When we setup the minimal iso - I believe this was a decision taken by
design, to not have this media be a replacement for the regular distro
install media. Mostly since kickstart and option based installs will
largely differ in terms of what works and does not work properly ( and
we dont test the minimal iso for use in this case ).

If you need to use the media in a loopback format, use the DVD media
instead.

For what the bug report says, a better way to run the install is to use
the iso as an iso and just attach an empty disk to the same vm, power it
up and you get the minimal install working just fine.
