Yup. You miss the 'install kit', but that's not actually quite ready.
More like Alpha release of Debian/alpha :) That might change radically
in few next weeks.

If you really are impatient, you could grab installation kit from
ftp://gorba.lpt.fi/debian/disks-alpha/
but we'd (i'd) make new kit about next weekend anyway, when the binary tree
is up to date for 'dselecting'.
I was just today experimenting with NFS install, but that's much harder than
i expected ie. would need to modify own installation script for that and
maintain it too :(
Maybe i'll just put together pre-installed drv+resc+base and the
installation just installs the base which includes drv+resc. Opinions?
That should be pretty easy to make from existing parts..... lemme test it
right away ... BRB ;)
