Re-use 'guest_ediconfig_nocd', after finishing L1 installation, it could boot 
into L1 OS, but failed to install packages( such as lvm2, rsync, bridge-utils 
....) via Debian repo in L1, as below msg:
root@nested:~# apt-get install lvm2 --no-install-recommends -y

in the drive '/media/cdrom/' and press enter

I checked the 'sources.list' file in L1, because L1 Debian OS assume that ISO 
Image as repo, but the ISO image does not exist actually.
Since '$gho->{Rimage}' is replaced as ' $emptyiso' in ' guest_ediconfig_nocd', 
maybe it is not sufficient for nested test.
If keep to re-use ' guest_ediconfig_nocd' , is there any approach to setting 
guest's repo in osstest system?
