The "look up" problem can be eluded by aborting then restarting the installation. I did this in Expert Mode so I could go straight to media configuration once, thunking the Ether device to manifest the "look up" bug. Then, during stall, interrupted the look-up to restart the entire sysinstall instance. The second media initialization is clean. Switching from the 8139 fixed the mfsroot bug as well. I have no idea what the link between the 8139 and the mfsroot is. I'm putting money on an interrupt layer mishandling. None the less, switching NICs fixed it.
