Hi guys,

I would like to install my Debian machines with the Pressed D-I feature.

At this moment, I dont have a decent DHCP/BootP server yet, and waiting for this to be achieved, I want to manually provide the IP address at the boot prompt.

I already use it on others distributions install, but I miss the right syntax on Debian.

What I want is to issue something similar to

[...] ip=xxxxx netmask=yyyy gateway=zzzzz preseed/url="" href="http://host/preseed.cfg" target="_blank">http://host/preseed.cfg

My guess, reading the documentation is I cant directly put some preseed parameters in the boot parameters.
What I want would be:

[...] netcfg/get_ipaddress=92.168.1.42 \
netcfg/get_netmask=255.255.255.0 \
netcfg/get_gateway=192.168.1.1 \
preseed/url="" href="http://host/preseed.cfg" target="_blank">http://host/preseed.cfg

Adding the below section in your preseed.cfg should work, hth.

# Static network configuration.

#d-i netcfg/get_nameservers string 192.168.124.1

#d-i netcfg/get_ipaddress string 192.168.1.6

#d-i netcfg/get_netmask string 255.255.255.0

#d-i netcfg/get_gateway string 192.168.124.1

#d-i netcfg/confirm_static boolean true

Am I right?
