Nope that didn't do it either.

I was using the netinstall.iso on a USB stick, so it gave me that dialog
anyway.  However, I did try again, adding askmethod to see if it would
make any difference.

It's not a major issue as I said, because if I mount it with all the
options specified in the install guide's appendix, it will work.  

Of course, since you're saying it works for you the old way, it does
make me wonder if it's one of those JustMe issues. (Or perhaps the
netinstall works differently than booting from CD 1, but I'm a bit too
lazy to try that one out. )
