Comments/Problems:
Installing from the PXE-based netboot image has worked fine previously
on both i386 and amd64-based images. I confirm that this problem happens
on both i386 and amd64 images, with and without preseeding.
Installation hangs at screen reading:
"Select and install software"
"12%"
"Running post-installation trigger libc-bin"
