That's unexpected, if you boot the DVD with no additional boot
arguments, the only text-mode prompt you should get is whether you want
to validate your media. Do you see any messages on tty3 or tty4 that
might indicate why it's prompting you for an installation source?
I do not get prompted to validate the media. I dump directly to the
'Choose a language' screen in text mode.
tty3 only says:
11:36:36,699 ERROR : got to setupCdrom without a CD device
tty4 among other things says:
NOTICE kernel:scsi 0:0:0:0: CD-ROM HP Virtual DVD-ROM

...
WARN kernel:sr0 scsi3-mmc drive: 0x/0x caddy

could it be a timing problem?
there is also a message saying
INFO kernel:fb0: radeondrmfb frame buffer device

Can you file a bug with a screenshot of the SIGSEGV output please?
Sounds like this may impact the iSCSI test case [1] (in text-mode)
The crash happens in /sbin/loader.
I have created a bug and will soon upload a screenshot.
