No, that way it works. I've just tried it out. If you "bake" the preseed into the initrd, 
anything works as expected.

I've put the preseed.cfg to the root of the ISO and passed it by APPEND settings to the kernel:
neither "file=/cdrom/preseed.cfg", nor "file=/hd-media/preseed.cfg", nor "file=preseed.cfg" works.

Exactly the same style (using "file=/cdrom/preseed.cfg") works for net*installer*, but not
for net*boot*.

The funny thing: for self-built net*boot* images (about 10 MB), it works with a seperated
preseed.cfg outside initrd without a problem. But building the installer on my own takes
lots of dependencies... I wonder, what went wrong on the automatic build of mini.iso :(

Ah! Let me check:
mini.iso gives me: ./lib/debian-installer-startup.de/S35initrd-preseed
netinstaller is equal, even when looking for anything contaning "preseed".

As far, as I can see, all the preseed information is also in the mini.iso.
It just can't read them from kernel parameters.
 
Do you need more information?
