That is exactly correct. The problem must be pretty specific to your 
network.
Does the problem also occur on subsequent boots, or is it only the first 
reboot after the first stage of installation?

I suggest you try to find out what is happening during boot by examining 
the log files and the dhcp client related files in /var/lib/dhcp.
You should probably enable bootlogd in /etc/default to get all messages 
sent to console during boot.
