Bug Description

should be able to do live-installer installs from mirrors, and cdrom pool over the network

with live-installer patches this works.

however on s390x currently this results in ENOMEM, because there is no loop.ko module available either as a udeb, or preferably built-in (which is inline with all the other arches we have). When i inject loop.ko into the installer, the installation succeeds.

Please set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y and upload kernel respin.

  * Refactor how PLACES are searched for base filesystems.
  * Strip /cdrom/ prefix from all places.
  * Iterate through places with /cdrom/ prefix, and then with a $mirror
    prefix, to fetch remotely, in case a cdrom is exported as a mirror.
