Not sure where or what your getting at here, but just having the ISO mounted is enough for the installer, and has been that way for a while now.  You don't have to do anything but make sure the path to the iso is mounted.  I do it via nfs all the time  and works like a champ (my server has perm. mounted dir's that contain the iso and other dir's as well). No need to do anything.  So unless your speaking for the OP's case itself and it's a seperate issue to how he's doing it, I am not sure I understand why to jump through the hoops to do what your doing when it wasnt' done before?

Just clarifying what it is your saying compared to how it's done in the
past to make sure I am not missing something.
