Last time I tried with the iso, I got the same thing you did and didn't know how to get around it. It might involve something to the effect of alt+f2 (or f3 or which ever) to the install console and umounting the one and mounting the other, but I never tried it. That's why I do it this way. :D Maybe someone else will chime in with better info on this for ya. -s
