Technically the install doesn't fail, but the screen is garbled some time before the netboot installerd start the partitioner during setup. Have seen this behaviour on both Intel and NVidia based video chips.
If the screen is garbled, switching from virtual console 1 to 2 and back 'fixes' the problem.
