Instead of a mutually exclusive selection in the installer, we should aim to use the local high speed source. If a file fails to load, then a DVD, then network local, then ISPs mirror, then finally near mirror, or any other mirror could be tried and the problematic file loaded from the cheapest fallback location…

The installer will not boot without a stage2 loader, using the diskless method. If both stage2 loader and packages reside in the same location (which is true for ISO/Network installation), it is recommended to use the “repo” parameter.
Yes, it would be nice to get the documentation updated.
