Main-menu has a menu item to install additional debian-installer
components (formerly known as modules). If you selet that you get a
list of udbs that aren't yet installed and you can mark the once you
want. Of cause that needs to be able to boot the normal cdrom image
first.

Now that is something to report and debug.

The net flavour has no cdrom drivers and thus can't load extra modules
from cdrom. YOu have the wrong type of network card for this.

220860 seems to be the "multiple network cards" bug.
220865 seemed to have failed with dhcp
221003 has a firewire cdrom that wasn't supported.
Where does that describe your failure to boot the cdrom install?
