Erm, I think that is a bug -- the auto=true should ensure that the keyboard question is only asked after the network came up and gave the chance for the preseed file to be loaded. I don't see what's changed recently though, and I normally only test this with netinsts which obviously bring the network up sooner. Andrey, is this also broken if you use CD#1? Also, you normally want to specify priority=critical as well, but I doubt that's the cause of your problem.
