Bug#293672: debian-installer: linux26 debconf/priority=critical asks to choose a network interface

[Alex Mohr <amohr@cs.sunysb.edu>]

Package: debian-installer
Severity: important

When installing 2.6 via netboot, installer still asks for
default network interface to choose even with debconf/priority=critical.
That makes unattended installs on a cluster of headless machines
difficult.  It's not a problem with the 2.4 install.  Here are lines
from pxelinux.cfg/default:

label wipe
	kernel debian-installer/i386/linux
	append initrd=debian-installer/i386/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=9372 root=/dev/rd/0 devfs=mount,dall rw debconf/priority=critical languagechooser/language-name=English preseed/url=http://myhost/mypreseed.cfg --
label wipe26
	kernel debian-installer/i386/2.6/linux
	append initrd=debian-installer/i386/2.6/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=10882 root=/dev/rd/0 devfs=mount,dall rw debconf/priority=critical languagechooser/language-name=English preseed/url=http://myhost/mypreseed.cfg --

Is there a workaround?
