Describe the bug
Rocky 8.5 added a closest mirror capability to the anaconda installer. Since Rocky installer starts without network connected the closest mirror automatic resolution fails and changes the icon for the Software Selection even when a local media (ie. ISO) is being used. This can prevent detection of the anaconda_main_hub and block the installation.

Steps to reproduce

% openqa-cli api -X POST isos ISO=Rocky-8.5-x86_64-boot.iso \
  ARCH=x86_64 DISTRI=rocky FLAVOR=minimal-iso \
  VERSION=8.5 BUILD="-minimal-iso-$(date +%Y%m%d.%H%M%S).0"

Expected behavior
_boot_to_anaconda should detect this condition and allow the installation to proceed where the network interface will be activated in a later step and the closest mirror can be detected.

**Describe the bug** Rocky 8.5 added a `closest mirror` capability to the anaconda installer. Since Rocky installer starts without network connected the `closest mirror` automatic resolution fails and changes the icon for the Software Selection even when a local media (ie. ISO) is being used. This can prevent detection of the `anaconda_main_hub` and block the installation. **Steps to reproduce** ``` % openqa-cli api -X POST isos ISO=Rocky-8.5-x86_64-boot.iso \ ARCH=x86_64 DISTRI=rocky FLAVOR=minimal-iso \ VERSION=8.5 BUILD="-minimal-iso-$(date +%Y%m%d.%H%M%S).0" ``` **Expected behavior** `_boot_to_anaconda` should detect this condition and allow the installation to proceed where the network interface will be activated in a later step and the `closest mirror` can be detected. **Screenshots** ![closest-mirror](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/542846/141854460-caa8f4f7-9a74-403b-897a-f6a65cf128bd.png) **Desktop (please complete the following information):** - OS: Fedora 34 Server - Browser: Chrome 95.0.4638.69
