Ah, i see, i tried a different CD-Rom Device and it worked fine. I believe that the error message i got was a bit confusing. My Problem occured while "determing hardware to find cdrom drives", the installer said "your installation cdrom couldnt be mounted, try again?". Then another message appeared "failed to find and mount a debian cdrom. you may be able to install debian without a cdrom, by using an alternate source such as a network". I believed that its ok for a netinst image to fail finding any further install images, because i wanted to do an installation by downloading packages from the network not a full-cd-set installation. Because the 2nd screen telling me that its possible to use a network source i thought that everything is fine, except that the NIC modules didnt load. As i read "source" i thought of an apt source and not pxe. Perhaps the error message should be more specific: "Without mounting the debian cdrom the installer wont be able to install the system, check your installation media" "..., by using alternate sources such as booting via network (pxe)".
