[ipxe-devel] Debian installer preseed example not working

[Arends, R.R. (René)]

Yes and just as a side note this would probably not work over https, since the debian installer initrd doesn’t have the ca-certificates to verify the trust of https connections (if I recall correctly).
So actually adding it as an extra file or cpio initrd sounds like a workaround for that.

It must be the complete URL, for example "preseed/url=http://10.10.10.1/preseed.cfg".

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
