[?] Scan hard drives for an installer ISO image

The ISO file ./netinst.iso on /dev/discs/disc2/disc (stable) will be
used as the installation ISO image.
"Load installer components from an installer ISO" fails with:
No kernel modules were found. [etc.]
syslog shows:

anna[7220]: WARNING **: no packages for kernel in archive
I'm guessing that I need a boot.img.gz with a 2.6.12 kernel to match what's
in the ISO, but I don't know which date that corresponds to. Or else you left
something more out of the ISO image.
I'm using this latest version in order to get the AHCI driver. The target
devices are SATA drives. There is no floppy or CD on the target system.
