Look at line 173 in the patched image.py - change
self.currentDisc = 3
to
self.currentDisc = 1
and put .disc1-i386 on your combination CD - that should do it.

You may not need to use it if you only have 2 discs... basically, you
can pass a modified installation order (just a list of RPMs) into
genhdlist, and that will put the install order in the generated hdlist.
Otherwise, it will use a default order based on dependencies, and you
may wind up with extra disc swaps.
