I downloaded their patch against the anaconda source package, and had a 
look at it.  The majority of the changes they made relate to adding XFS 
support. I'm currently downloading the iso image, but at over 300MB, 
it'll be another hour.

Looking at the patchfile, it appears that the only changes made to allow 
the third disk are all in image.py. They are very similar to the ones I 
made to that file. I changed image.py to match the XFS patches, and I 
still get the same error. :) I appears that the installer has the cd 
locked and won't release it. Obviously, I am:
a) Missing something obvious,
b) Not properly generating the hdlist files,
c) Missing something in the buildinstall phase.

I'll install the XFS version of anaconda and have a look to see if I 
missed something.
