RE: preseed debian buster - NiKiZe - 2019-10-18 12:59
relevant for why is if you are booting in efi mode or not.
you might want to use preseed.cfg in all cases...
If in efi mode there will be no cpio headers added so it won't appear as /preseed.cfg for the kernel, while it will if you boot in pcbios mode.
for efi, you will have to add cpio headers yourself
Code:
echo preseed.cfg | cpio -H newc -o > preseed.cfg.cpioRE: preseed debian buster - fred - 2019-10-19 08:38
Hello and thanks for your answer.
I tried this after found http://forum.ipxe.org/showthread.php?tid=8275, in add of your reply.
Code:
kernel http://debian.proxad.net/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/linux initrd=initrd.gz initrd=preseed.cfg.cpio
initrd http://debian.proxad.net/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz
initrd http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/firmware/stable/current/firmware.cpio.gz
initrd http://pxe-server.lan/preseed.cfg.cpio
bootBut not working.
I did echo preseed.cfg | cpio -H newc -o > preseed.cfg.cpio
and it's add this to preseed.cfg.cpio
Code:
0707010000CDFA000081E40000000000000021000000015DA85C6D000011AC000000000000003B00000000000000000000000C00000000preseed.cfg^@^@^@Something I don't understand again.
I need to add preseed in archive to be load?!

Hello,
I tried many configuration, and I found something works with netinstall + uefi / preseed !
my menu.ipxe:
Code:
kernel http://debian.proxad.net/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/linux initrd=initrd.gz initrd=firmware.cpio.gz locale=fr_FR.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=fr keyboard-configuration/variantcode=latin9 keymap=skip-config auto=true priority=critical auto url=http://${66}/iso/debian/preseed.cfg
initrd http://debian.proxad.net/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz
initrd http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/firmware/stable/current/firmware.cpio.gzYou have to put in kernel args keyboard and localization if you don't want to be ask about, and add priority=critical auto url=http://URL/path/to/preseed.cfg
Know I tried to pass somes late-command, but I have error. It's another story without link with ipxe.
Hope can help with this example.
