Wrong.  my bad.  no bug.

Details
-------

Wanting an automatic, unattended install, it has been my practice
(through squeeze and wheezy) to _replace_ the 'default' file after
installing netboot.tar.gz

  srv/tftp/debian-installer/amd64/pxelinux.cfg/default

When looking for reasons for the boot failure, I forgot to consider
that replacement.

Using a 'default' file written according to the specs for syslinux
version 6.03, I get an automated, unattended, preseeded install.

Sorry for the noise.

Regards,
Douglas.
