That's because netcfg-dhcp was installed automatically but not ethdetect.

On a real computer speed won't be a problem, and it's far better that a few extra packages are installed than that a new user doesn't get things to work because something's missing... > Problem 5 (minor): > For some reason I can setup the network settings manualy, but dhcp doesn't > work.

If so, report a bug on kbd-chooser. > Problem 7 (normal): > It seems that root= arguments are ignored for both cdrom and net. I.e., > there seems to be no rescue mode.

If all you want is an installed system, please install woody and then dist-upgrade. d-i is still in an alpha stage.
