/hd-media is mounted by iso-scan. That will work fine if you're
installing from a hd<F11>-media image. Otherwise it won't, and you'll
have to put the file somewhere else.

d-i does not have one initrd, it has initrds customized for different
media types. The file-preseed udeb that handles preseed/file is only
present on the hd-media, cdrom, and monolithic initrds.
