Yeah, `virt-manager` is (IMO) not as awesome VirtualBox or even plain `qemu` commands. I experienced the same "double" boot to install issue with KVM on RHEL7. I guess it is the way `virt-manager` works. However, in the end, I was able to install w/o issue (over `cockpit`) after the 2nd boot.
Are you setting the ISO as the `cdrom` device or as a bootable hard drive/USB drive? The files may not be appropriately visible in the way the installer is expecting. What is your `qemu` command line? Before running the installer, what drive is ISO visible as?
