[Bug 1907980] [NEW] Installer hangs when PXE booted

[Matt Corddry]

Public bug reported:

I was running the 20.04.1 installer from a LiveCD, which I had booted
via PXE with the ISO on a read-only NFS share. It had a log message
about waiting for the CD in the drive, which I wasn't able to bypass.

The installer hung. I ended up killing an installer subprocess, which
kicked me into the bug report workflow.
