This means that netcfg/error template was invoked. This can only ever
happen in the 'Choose Interfaces' menu, at least as of current CVS. Does
this still happen?

I don't understand how this happens, because this seems like it would
imply that cdrom-retriever Depends: configured-network, and it doesn't.

I will try to find out about this bug. Thanks for the report..
