The new boot.iso now contains the stage2.img or whatever, which is why
it's a lot bigger.

Yep, noticed that too.  But you now select which way to do the install about 3/4 way through it or so.  It will initially start by having http type install but you can select cd/dvd, nfs, whatever and put a checkmark next to the repositories that you want to use to select packages from.
