Actually, last night (this morning) I installed rawhide from the
boot.iso and it worked as long as I didn't try to do anything special
(like use http of customize my partitions.)   The current supported
method is nfs-based trees (IIRC) so you need to nfs-export your rawhide
tree so the test machine can see it.

The package select stuff is quite "primitive" and undergoing heavy
modifications.
