Comments/Problems:
The system starts off nicely and autodetects everything - things seem to
go well. Then "Feel free to retry." pops up, and hitting Enter brings
me to the main menu, where "Configure the network via DHCP" is selected.
Note: I -do- have a working DHCP server, and it works fine under the
Woody installer, when I select the 'de4x5' driver. 'discover' selects
'tulip' for me, and it doesn't work.
I've been through this once before on the same hardware; see #219903.
This time, I try to select "Configure a static network" as a
work-around, but that also leads me to "Feel free to retry." I'm going
to try and continue the installation without a network connection.
I've blanked the partition table before beginning. I select
"Automatically partition hard drives" from the main menu. It seems to
work; "Feel free to retry" pops up again, and I'm dropped back to the
main menu, where "Configure the network via DHCP" is selected. That
happens every time a menu item completes.
Next I select "Install the base system" from the main menu, it installs
and says "feel free...", then I select "Install the kernel" and it does
so. "Feel free." "Install GRUB boot loader on a hard disk." "Feel
free." All of the defaults were correct. "Finish the installation and
reboot."
The system comes up normally, and base-config runs OK. I purge
discover, add my NIC driver to /etc/modules, set up
/etc/network/interfaces and everything works great!
Thanks for working on debian-installer,
- Keegan

Thank you for testing debian-installer.
I have cloned your report to discover-data-udeb and therefore close this
report. The problems you describe are because the netcfg step (static
and dhcp) never succeeds. netcfg-dhcp is therefore the default all the
time.
