Care to share the pxe config?

Cheers,

Sure, it looks like this:

LABEL Debian7x64_beta

  MENU LABEL - Debian Installer 7 beta 4 64-bitars (Wheezy)

    KERNEL debian/7x64_beta/linux

    APPEND vga=788 --

    INITRD debian/7x64_beta/initrd.gz

I copied the interesting bits from D-I's txt.cfg:

default install

label install

        menu label ^Install

        menu default

        kernel debian-installer/amd64/linux

        append vga=788 initrd=debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz -- quiet

Kernel, initrd.gz and txt.cfg from http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/daily/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/.

Cheers,

Daniel
