Actually I see this as a really convenient feature of the GRUB-based
netinst images. It's very easy to add preseed and other options to the
grub.cfg
Another useful tweak is:
< kfreebsd $prefix/kfreebsd-9.gz
> kfreebsd $prefix/kfreebsd-9.gz -D
to have kernel output copied to serial (so that with qemu -serial stdio
this can all be logged). This includes segfaults, memory exhaustion or
d-i's root ramdisk filling up, with the responsible pid + process name.
