No, but this is the most general way.  The other is using multiple
initrds, if your boot method supports it.  The Syslinux family does, you
can supply multiple files separated by commas.  Probably you could also
emulate this by concatenating initrd images with appropriate padding,
but I never tried this myself.

The principle is there: you have to get a file called preseed.cfg into
the root directory.  You choose the way...
