Preseeding paramters on the linux line may be used to specify where the
ISO resides:

  shared/ask_device=manual
  shared/enter_device=/dev/disk/by-label/<LABEL>

The response from the OP was

     > vmlinuz and initrd.gz are in the .iso. No need to retrieve again.

This will almost certainly lead to a failure to discover and mount the
ISO. BootFromISOinHD.jpg (provided by the OP) provides confirmation of
this assertion.
