Hey,

it seems that preseed/file doesn't work at all.

I'm using the netboot files (so linux kernel and initrd.gz). I've tried
various setups:

preseed/file=/hd-media/foo.cfg
preseed/file=file:///hd-media/foo.cfg

Looking at the content of the initrd it seems that there is nothing
mounting the media nor anything done to handle preseed/file. I've found
stuff for handling preseed/url but nothing for the file scheme.

Regards,

Not really (or a wishlist one but I'm not sure one wants to “clutter”
the netboot images with the preseed-file.udeb)
