I agree. I understand the situation, why this integrity check came up and is considered as helpful for users installing their OS with a broken USB Stick. But in case of Non-MAAS datacenter operations (SMC IPMI for me), this feature is an entire pain. Although connected to the ISO via an 1 GBps connection, it takes 25 minutes to complete the integrity check. After that, the entire setup is (almost) made within four minutes. Until... the unskippable "Installing security Updates" happens, which can be cancelled, when its finished. Srsly, I would highly appreciate any efforts to give one a chance to reliably skip integrity check and security patches during a server installation.

Netboot is not an option for me, as in a datacenter with public IPv4/v6 assignments, I prefer manual IP assignments. Therefore, no DHCP is available during setup.
