indeed, i forgot that there is no bootloader as a preseed option
(thought it was only lilo|grub|grub2 etc.).
2. would it be reasonable to do a check for the bootloader in d-i, so that
when we're installing from an image, the bootloader only installed from
packages if it's not already included in the image.
I think it would complicate too much also because you'd need to check
for MBR and like.
no, package installation != bootloader installation.
i'd like to only skip the 'apt-get install $bootloader', not the parts
where the bootloader is written to the mbr.
as i see it, if it would be possible to divide grub-installer into two
parts (one that contains the package installation, one that contains all
the rest), it would be possible to do the bootloader setup just the same
within d-i, except for the package installation (which, in case the
squashfs images already contains it, is not necessary and thus should be
skipped). or, there could be an internal preseeding introduced, so that
live-installer-launcher can take care about it.
not sure if which approach would please the d-i team, what do you think?
