Re: Installing Debian remotely in an unmanaged VPS

I achieved success with this preseed:

d-i debian-installer/locale            string en_US
d-i console-setup/ask_detect           boolean false
d-i console-setup/layoutcode           select us
d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap  select us
d-i keyboard-configuration/toggle      select No toggling
d-i debconf/priority                   select critical
d-i auto-install/enabled               boolean true
d-i netcfg/choose_interface            select eth0
d-i netcfg/get_hostname                string server
d-i netcfg/get_domain                  string server.none
d-i network-console/password           password <OMITTED>
d-i network-console/password-again     password <OMITTED>

Now what it remains is to configure GRUB using grub-reboot to boot the 
image once and if booted again, fall back to the existing installation 
so as to lower the risk of rending the system effectively unbootable.
