[Bug 1869291] [NEW] Autoinstall config file can't be recognized by installer for Ubuntu 20.04 live server

[vmware-gos-Yuhua]

Public bug reported:

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
