[Vladimir Kuklin (vkuklin)]

this may happen due to missing connectivity with outer world

[Dmitry Pyzhov (dpyzhov)]

Looks like dns is not available during admin node bootstrapping. Installed node has internet:
# ping ya.ru
PING ya.ru (213.180.204.3) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from www.yandex.ru (213.180.204.3): icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=4.50 ms
64 bytes from www.yandex.ru (213.180.204.3): icmp_seq=2 ttl=63 time=4.39 ms

Issue seems to be 100% reproducible on virtualbox
