Yup - my memory too!
I wonder if adding a repo=cdrom:/dev/.... to the boot options would
refer it back to the DVD? Or maybe copying the DVD install iso to a
partition that was not going to be used in the install - in this case
I had formatted the entire HD before starting the install so that it
was effectively a clean disk. Then booting the DVD and adding
repo=hd:/dev/sdax:/pathtoiso
