I just tested the askmethod after I burned the boot.iso
to a 1GB flash stick, and booted it with Virtualbox.
At the menu to install/upgrade/boot from local disk.....etc etc..
I pressed Tab key and it immediately showed the vmlinux boot line args
to which I appended askmethod (of course after a space separator).
And it worked exactly as advertised. It asked me for the URL
of the installation image.
So I have no idea why you should have had any problems.
