After network detection failed, please switch to VT2 (on a PC this is
alt-F2; I guess option-F2 or something similar on Macs) and enter the
following command:
lspci -nn | grep Ethernet
We need the PCI Id of that device, which looks like [xxxx:xxxx].

This is not true. Netinst CDs contain the full base system, so you can
complete an installation without a network card. You would end up with a
fairly minimal, but completely functioning system.
