You don't need to CC me. I follow the list. Although CD is offered, as it's a stock install, it's not a true option with this pre-beta ISO. It doesn't sound to me like you're doing anything wrong prodedurally. If stage2 loads successfully from CD, but not from you network, I would next suspect corruption at the network source.
