naturally I am not sympathetic to the inability to do a *Net install* :-) .
What happens if you load the initrd and linux from the repos or net iso using Grub? That's how I start most installations here.
I really would not know what would happen as I wouldn't even attempt to do this - principally because I haven't a clue what you are talking about :-) .

But, secondly, why should I try and do this.
Same reason you would "do a *Net install*" by burning a current openSUSE-Factory-NET...iso and booting it, but also to see whether the obstacle has its root in the installation kernel and/or initrd and/or the media or iso you've been attempting to use. Installing this way you download nothing you won't be installing or needing in order to be able to install. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
