On multi-installer USB, only first installer works

When multiple USB partitions contain the files from an install iso, only the files on the lowest-numbered partiton can be mounted on /mnt/SOURCE by the installer. If a higher-numbered partition is mounted manually on /mnt/SOURCE at the proper point in the process, the install will succeed.

Installing different VL spins by having only one bootable instance of the installer, and leaving the other spins as .iso files on / of any or several of the USB's partitions works normally, so there is a way to make a working multi-spin USB while waiting for a fix to this problem.

If, when you're ready to look at this, you have trouble recreating the issue, just let me know what info is needed from the install session and how to get it.
