Hello Bernhard,

> IPXE Debian preseed example. Where to put the pressed.cfg?

I put the preseed.cfg on the webserver '10.10.10.1' and point to it by using
the following ipxe config. It is a single file in the root called preseed.cfg.
Find an example file attached.

:preseed_jessie_64
kernel /ipxe/jessie64/debian-installer/amd64/linux vga=788 interface=auto auto=true netcfg/dhcp_timeout=60 preseed/url=10.10.10.1 hostname=debian domain=gmvl.de
initrd /ipxe/jessie64/debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz
boot

Cheers,
        Thomas
