Using --location /path/to/mounted/iso will let the guest boot into the initial
installer kernel/initrd, but the guest doesn't have any way to access the rest
of the install media because it's not too straight forward to export a
directory to a VM (at least virt-install doesn't support it).

Export the mount point over local http, then do --location
http://localhost/... and it should work as expected.
