Of course you have IPv6, probably in the form of SLAAC/RA. How else
Linux kernel used in the installer would know which IPv6 address to use
and which IPv6 route to choose to 2001:41d0:202:100:213:32:5:7.

Yet what installer *does* have that's /proc.
So, wait for the network autoconfiguration, switch to root vt, invoke:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6
And you just disabled IPv6 until the next reboot.
