I've not checked recently, but I find that documentation confusing, because it relies on there being a kernel target named "auto" which adds auto=true priority=critical to the command line. Personally, when using standard d-i media I find the Automatic Install option in the Advanced submenu, hit TAB to get to the command line, and add url=... (and generally classes=..., but that's because I use that within the stuff you can find here: http://hands.com/d-i/ which also may provide useful hints). BTW what boot image are you using? Could it be something that is tuned for file= preseeding, which may not actually have the network-preseed.udeb?
