This is a FAQ and the answer is that the installer is not capable from
installing from more than the first iso.  What can be be done is to extract the
isos with something like isobuster in Windows or loop mount and copy the
contents to the hard disk in linux with something like 
mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/iso /mnt/disk
cp -a /mnt/disk /mnt/disk2
umount /mnt/disk
where /mnt/disk2 is a partition large enough to hold the directory tree.  Repeat
for each iso.
With that, booting from the hd.img floppy will install from all the sources.

description: 
System: x86 with installation CD1-CD3 iso images on a hard disk attached via USB.

Problem: Installer reported an error that installation of package libefsl fails. 
Installation of further packages fails too as the installer does not seem to switch to 
CD2/CD3 when CD1 is done. 

I was impressed that aborting made the installer terminate package installation, 
cleaning up missing dependencies and continue with
post install config.

Proposed solutions:
1) Mount and switch images in selected hd directory automagically
2) Give the user a dialog to change images at the time of reporting the error
