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.
