Did it with Oct 19 Amd64 Netinstall Image
Boot parameters: expert acpi=off
(If not it stops booting at :

  Initializing Cryptogtaphic Api

io scheduler cfq registered)

lsmod says:
Module            size            Used by
forcedeth     36492                0

forcedeth: using HIGHDMA
eth 0: forcedeth.c :subsistem: 01043:8169a bound to 0000:00:14.0
eth 1394:eth1: IEE-1394 Ipv4 over 1394 Ethernet (fw-host0)

ifconfig:

dhcclient says:
Network is down.
