After the first reboot, we are now asked for apt configuration. Nothing
worked for me:
When setting up for NFS, it didn't ask for a server name, just a path.
When setting up for HTTP, it didn't put a / in front of the directory,
and when given one, it just hung when trying to fetch from it (and yes,
Lynx has no problem with the same URL).
When setting up for file (after mounting an NFS mirror by hand) it
requires that the sources directory be present before it will continue
and gives no option to skip sources - which I don't have mirrored.
Eventually I edited /etc/apt/sources.list by hand with no further
problems.

I have actually seen APT hang on DNS lookups on initial installs. I was
never able to pinpoint the problem, I suspected some odd bug to do with
libc, IPv6 (the RFC 2553 stuff) DNS, and *something*. Always goes away by
the time the complete system is installed.
If it's fixed in the new boot floopies as the bug says then it is fixed.
Otherwise some tcpdump strace dns mojo will have to be undertaken by
someone who can reproduce it.
