Title:
  Autoinstall config file can't be recognized  by installer for Ubuntu
  20.04 live server

Status in base-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Description:
    Autoinstall config file can't be recognized and read by installer


  Steps:
    1) Create file autoinstall.yaml as attached

    2) Create iso with lable "CIDATA" and add the autoinstall.yaml to iso
  with the following command
          mkisofs -J -r -V "CIDATA" -o autoinstall.iso -v ./autoinstall.yaml
           or 
          mkisofs -r -V "CIDATA" -o autoinstall.iso -v ./autoinstall.yaml
       
       (Note: try both upper two commands)

    3) check the autoinstall.iso:
        1) mount the iso and find the file autoinstall.yaml in direcotry "/"
        2) it has label "CIDATA"
        3) umount autoinstall.iso

    4) Create a VM in ESXi with two CD/DVDS

    5) One CD/DVD is mounted with focal-live-server-amd64.iso(daily
  build 24/Mar/2020) and the other is mounted with autoinstall.iso

    6) power on the VM, the focal-live-server-amd64.iso is recognized and start to install guestOS.
    
    7) the installer stop and wait to input .   It seems like the autoinstall.yaml can't be recognized.


  Expect:
    For step 7: we wish the installer can read file autoinstall.yaml and finished installation without interaction
