boot.iso & cdrom askmethod network install methods failing on test3

Are the following working for others?
a) network install from boot.iso 
b) cdrom askmethod install over network

My testbox (with RealTek RTL-8029 network adapter) fails both with "no
devices to support this install method" message and asks to provide
either driver disk or select device and gets stuck there - selecting the
correct driver manually doesn't help. The card *is* detected and loaded
(modules ne2k_pci and 8390) correctly automatically point (one of the
VT:s shows "eth0: RealTek RTL-8029 found at 0xe800, IRQ 9,
00:20:18:3A:DE:36" message), it's just that the message doesn't seem to
go all the way through or whatever.

That worked without any problems up to FC2-test2 at least, don't
remember whether I tried installing rawhide between test2-3 but don't
think so.

Got the box finally installed after a lot of cursing with the above
problem and somewhat flaky CD-drive .. actual testing will have to wait
till later.
