I have investigated this situation a little bit. The most elegant way to
introduce preseeding (and firmware) capability seems to use bootloaders
capability to concatenate multiple "initrd" cpio archives.
At least Syslinux (since 2005)[1] and Yaboot should support this (elilo
don't seems to support it, yet)
Syslinux/PXELinux, the syntax is
|label install
| menu label ^Install
| menu default
| kernel debian-installer/lenny/i386/linux
| append vga=normal
| initrd=path/to/initrd.gz,path/to/morestuff.cpio.gz
For Yaboot, the syntax is
|image=/vmlinux
| label=install
| initrd=/initrd.gz|morestuff.cpio.gz
| initrd-size=14030
| append="--"
| read-only
I'll test it. If that work, would it be ok to modify the default netboot
images ?
