Based on the updates.img[1] think the installer is looking for the iso
image of the cdrom, can you try copying the whole XS iso image to the
root of the usbdrive, rename repodata, packages, and media.repo.
Try that first, if that fails you might have to revert the changes to
isolinux.cfg and try again.
