I think Terje Kvernes and Samuel Bouhnik may have provided the clues

Please try this.  Use whatever you want to call the mount point 
directory.  In the example it is myusb.  However, I think anaconda puts 
its /tmp and /mnt in another location so you will have to make 
adjustments.  Use your alt f1-f4 keys to poke around and find where they 
are.  I don't recall off the top of my head. The proposed solution is 
untested.

mkdir /mnt/myusb
mount -t fat16 /dev/sda1 /mnt/myusb
