Tim,
thanks much for your lengthy reply, especially the detailed steps
you use for  netinstall.

I have zero experience with netinstall, so my prior comments
to you probably of little use,
if not muddying the waters even more.

One thing is really unclear to me:
if you cant (or couldn't )access the external usb at all,
and that usb is where you have (or had) the dvdiso,
it seems to me you can't test whether you have
the
/images/install.img
 in the right place or not,
and similarly whether your equivalent of my  /root/diso
has correct leading / or not.

OTOH,  if you do get access to the usb
then you _can_ expect the installer to see the usb first, internal hd second.

If instead you move your dvdiso to your internal hd,
and keep your usb powered off,
 then there will be no opportunity
for the installer to reorder the disks.

Just in case my experience using hdinstall
is of use to you, here is specific detaill on location of   my
/images/install.img

[root@f10 ~]# cd diso
[root@f10 diso]# ls
images  isolinux
[root@f10 diso]# cd images
[root@f10 images]# ls
install.img
[root@f10 images]# pwd
/root/diso/images
[root@f10 images]# ls
install.img

this /root/diso
as required,
originally was also the location of my f11 dvdiso
[I have since moved it out of my f10 system]

Jack
