This means that netcfg/error template was invoked. This can only ever happen in the 'Choose Interfaces' menu, at least as of current CVS.

I don't understand how this happens, because this seems like it would imply that cdrom-retriever Depends: configured-network, and it doesn't. I will try to find out about this bug.
