I've never gotten automating finding the preseed file to work.
Instead, I boot a USB stick with the netinst installer on it, and the
preseed file (and all my custom stuff) on another USB stick. When the
netinst stick boots, I arrow key down to Help, and select that, to get
the boot prompt. Select the installation I want, typically "expert". Add
"auto file=/media/preseed.cfg".
So it is possible that you should have the "auto" before the "file=".
You might also take the quiet out of there for a more verbose boot.
Once you boot up, you can then examine the boot process in the usual
place, /var/log.
