"Select Device Driver to Load" rings a bell, I've stumbled over that
during the F-14
development, too.
Bad news for you is that CTC isn't supported anymore as a installation
device in RHEL6,
I've added support for point-to-point devices back in Fedora-14.
This issue is described in the following bug comment and is due to
loader (of anaconda) not accepting ptp network devices. CTC does work up
to the start of loader since the earlier linuxrc.s390 sets up CTC
correctly and this is used for the ssh login.

While the earlier parts in above bug are fixed in RHEL6 and upstream,
the following fixes for your encountered issue only seem to be upstream:
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=anaconda.git;a=commit;h=aec2e17840f2c3f5e5c605b96518e3d80dadf53d

http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=anaconda.git;a=commit;h=d3180ef38db7d4cc2615ebadedfbb59d9fe984cd
However, loader (as part of anaconda) accepting ptp devices is only part
of the installation solution and NetworkManager also needs to accept ptp
devices since anaconda uses NM to manage network devices once loader has
started (and thus takes over device management from linuxrc.s390 which
runs before loader on s390).
I found the following bug opened by Karsten for NM:
