RC1 had that problem for me (because kernel was -ckt2 and modules being
loaded were for -ckt7 I believe).
The daily build from 09-Mar-2015 worked fine when I netbooted it.
But certainly the current RC1 netboot is unusable.
I would have thought the weekly CD build would have been OK, although
maybe 02-Mar-2015 is just too old to have the kernel match the modules.
I suspect the next weekly build (not sure why the current weekly build
is 9 days old) will work. The daily build certainly worked for me 2
days ago, so I suggest giving that a try.
