I did the migration to btrfs root from a working reiserfs root, so I'm not 
sure if the fix can be applied from the netinst iso.  I'm not familiar enough 
with the netinst process to be sure, but I think you should be able to chroot, 
make the config changes, and rebuild the initrd just before the netinst 
reboots into the new system.
