Title=3.0.2-1 Fail to Restore from External Hard Disk

A single mondorescue-1.iso backup is successfully created directly to an external hard disk and stored in /mondo. 

Booting from the mondorescue.iso (mindi) CDROM
 * Boot codes: interactive noresize
 * Read from=Hard disk
 * Prefix=mondorescue
 * On what device do the ISO files live=/dev/sdb1
 * What is disk format=ext4
 * Are you restoring from an external hard drive=Yes
 * At what path on this device can the ISO files be found=/mondo
 * When mondorestore displays the message ""Failed to find config/file
 archives. Choose another source?""
 * ALT-F2
 * mount
  ""...
  /dev/sdb1 on /tmp/isodir type ext4 (ro,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered)""
 * ls -1 /mnt/isodir/mondo/*.iso
  ""/tmp/isodir/mondo/mondorescue-1.iso
   /tmp/isodir/mondo/mondorescue.iso""

It seems that mondorestore mounts the external disk OK but does not
use the path to the directory holding the backup ISO.

At the suggestion of Bruno mondorescue-1.iso was copied to the root of the external drive and the restore attempted again.  This time the ISO is found but the restore fails at a later stage.

Booting from the mondorescue.iso (mindi) CDROM
 * Boot codes: interactive noresize
 * Read from=Hard disk
 * Prefix=mondorescue
 * On what device do the ISO files live=/dev/sdb1
 * What is disk format=ext4
 * Are you restoring from an external hard drive=Yes
 * At what path on this device can the ISO files be found=/
 * Editing Mountlist=OK
 * Save mountlist and continue=Yes
 * Erase and partition hard drives=Yes
 * Restore all data=Yes
 * A message is displayed ""Please insert ISO #1 and press Enter""

At this point the mondorestore.log was saved as it is not possible to
proceed further.  The log is attached.
