On the network there is no dhcp. So I would-be expect a network configuration screen.
Comment 14 Robert Knight 2014-12-29 13:47:02 UTC 
Another user experienced a similar problem:

During the startup of an installation of the F22 nightly 20141222, the DHCP timed out.  At this point, synchronization with a repo's cache will not work.  The installer crashed with "An unknown error occurred".

Attempt a text based installation without a network connection configured and anaconda will crash.

Comment 17 David Shea 2015-01-06 15:46:00 UTC 
RE: alpha blocking (from the dupe), yeah, that seems fair. Should it block alpha or beta? I do not know.

It sounds like this will occur any time a netinst boot image is used, and anaconda starts without network up. The fix will probably be to do whatever yumpayload.py does to handle this kind of thing.
