There's a bug which crept it (and I'm still looking for it :-( ) which
makes this happen if you don't specify a nameserver value.  Please
specify one, using IP addresses for everything if you don't actually
want to use it during installation (e.g. you can give 10.0.0.1 if you
like, just don't use any hostnames during the install :).
