Bug Description
Binary package hint: debian-installer
During Hardy 8.04.4 ISO testing.
Alternate i386 OEM mode.
When configuring the network trough DHCP it fails, but, instead of showing an error, it shows the global debian-installer menu.
After that, no matter which selection I tried, it always went back to "Configure network" option.
After several attempts, it finally went through the next step.
This hadn't occurred in other types of installation, only OEM.
Installer logs attached.

This does not happen every time. It seems to be a transitional state that raised the bug.
