Out of frustration I changed the cdrom drive and the installation
proceeded with only one problem. The network has to be configured
manually but either the installer didn't provide this option or I missed
it.
It's there.
When you hit "Continue" in the "Network autoconfiguration failed"
dialogue, the next dialogue offers an option named "Configure network
manually". I tested this in the default non-expert installation mode. In
the expert installation mode you should be able to choose that option
right from the start after you select the "Configure the network" step.
