http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.mips/apbs04.html#preseed-base-installer
says

|# The kernel image (meta) package to be installed; "none" can be used if
|# no
|# kernel is to be installed.
|#d-i base-installer/kernel/image string linux-image-2.6-486

bugreporter preseed file should have the line
|d-i base-installer/kernel/image string none
(without the | character)
Notice 'd-i' versus the wrong 'bootstrap-base'
and 'string' added.

> Bug?

Yes.  At least in the preseed file of the submitter of this bugreport.


Ronald:
How did you come up with the (wrong) line
|bootstrap-base base-installer/kernel/image none
?

I'm asking because I assume there might be debian-installer documentation
that needs love.
