You already tried the new _rev0_CDa version of the CDs? (They rsync really
fast when starting with _rev0 images.)
If that also doesn't work, I'm afraid there's no more help here. The guys from
-alpha@lists have provided the most critical parts of the scripts that produce
the CDs, so you should ask there (again, or wait patiently ;-) if your problem
is due to the bootability/layout of the CDs.
However, your problem seems more related to the install system (i.e. you would
have had the same problem if you downloaded disks-alpha/ from FTP and used
floppies to install from); so I think you'd better ask debian-boot@lists.
