This is before packages selection screen when using an http proxy without specifying the protocol part. 

In loader I've entered the hostname:port of the proxy without http:// in front. 

In the proxy log I see that images/install.img was successfully downloaded which means that loader understands the hostname:port syntax but stage2 doesn't. 

Either make stage2 not require the protocol part or if that's required make loader require/warn for it as well.
