I would like to mention that I've just hit this bug.
I've got a handful of dell laptops here that will install perfectly via
DVD, but the netboot image fails to load the drivers for the sata
controller.
I've confirmed that the network is functional, and watched a tcpdump of
the installer downloading the installer components from three different
mirrors.
The netboot images are completely missing a handful of drivers according
to this link:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26524888/debian-missing-firmware-with-pxe-installation
And it appears that the drivers are not being downloaded from the mirror
for some reason.
