It is not documented because preseeding is normally done while
running with
debconf priority critical, or maybe high. But this question only gets
asked at medium priority so there is normally no need to preseed it.
There are many, many more questions that only get asked at medium or low
priority that are also not documented.
The correct template to preseed to choose between dhcp and static
network
configuration is netcfg/disable_dhcp.
Including in preseed.cfg:
d-i netcfg/disable_dhcp string false
won't stop debian-installer asking about Auto-configure Network with
DHCP question.
but netcfg/use_dhcp does the trick.
Do I have to combine disable_dhcp with another option ?
My environment (grep netcfg preseed.cfg) is:
d-i netcfg/choose_interface select auto
d-i netcfg/get_hostname string pxe
d-i netcfg/get_domain string red.isotrol.com
# d-i netcfg/use_dhcp string true
d-i netcfg/disable_dhcp string false
d-i netcfg/dhcp_options select Retry network autoconfiguration
