Wait a minute, are you using the NETINST CD image or the netboot image for TFTP boot?

The installer components are not supposed to be downloaded when performing a NETINST installation as the installer components are shipped on the CD

It’s a bit confusing but NETINST is actually less a network installation but more a CD installation.

I have the impression that there is actually a netboot installation going on.

Then there is definitely something broken specific to hppa. The NETINST CD normally ships everything to perform a basic installation without a network connection.
