[Bug 870212] [NEW] no network d-i install does not continue after failing network setup

[C de-Avillez]

Public bug reported:

Oneiric release candidate 2011-10-06; happens on both AMD64 and i386;
also if we select "Rescue a broken system" with no network.

Doing a no-network install, debian-installer fails (as expected) to find
a network; on accepting Continue, we are thrown back in to the D-I
installer steps, postitioned on "Configure the network". Selecting
"Configure the clock also fails; selecting "Detect disks" allows
installation to proceed.

WORKAROUND:

select "Detect disks" on the "Ubuntu Installer main menu".

** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
