Bug#248147: debian-installer: netcfg/use_dhcp parameter can't be allowed on cdrom image



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
Version: 20040430

(Should be this bug to rootskel, cdebconf, or debian-installer-utils?)
debian-installer cdrom image help mentions 'netcfg/use_dhcp=false',
but this parameter is allowed ONLY for netboot image.

Scenario:
1. Add netcfg/use_dhcp=false for boot parameter
2. /lib/debian-installer.d/S25env2debconf is launched
3. S25env2debconf recognized boot parameter correctly, but...
4. templates for netcfg/use_dhcp isn't loaded yet. (netcfg package is
   dynamic component loaded by anna on cdrom image.)
5. debconf-set simply goes fail and forget it.
6. When netcfg/use_dhcp is loaded by anna, default value is 'true'
   from templates. Boot parameter is ignored.

Setting debconf answer at boot parameter is nice feature, but IMHO it needs
some tricks to resolve values of dynamic component templates.

Thanks,
