Thanks to Daniel on IRC with a little direction I learned why it
was skipping the preseed. Basically, I had not appended the
parameters
to the boot options in isolinux. It is copying the preseed to the ISO
now, but it can't be located when the install is loading.
I have my preseed here:
/config/includes.binary/install/preseed.cfg
When I browse the built ISO I find my file here:
/media/cdrom0/install/preseed.cfg
But, when I launch the debian-installer from the liveCD desktop, or
from the boot menu I receive the error:
"The file needed for preconfiguration could not be retrieved from
file:///install/preseed.cfg [1]. The installation will proceed in
non-automated mode.
I have tried various boot options to resolve, but receive the same
error (with the file:/// [2] as entered of course):
append preseed/file=/install/preseed.cfg
append preseed/file=/media/cdrom/install/preseed.cfg
append preseed/file=/media/cdrom0/install/preseed.cfg
Getting close, but no cigar as of yet...
