Except that the Debian installer reads "Your installation CD-ROM
could
not be mounted. This probably means that the CD-ROM was not in the
drive. If so you can insert it and try again. Try again to mount hte
CD-ROM? Yes/No"
[...]
So what it looks like to me is that the preseed file just needs some work to make this
fully automated, or else I should not be using
the netinst image with the import?
Either way, let me know. I think this would be really awesome if we could use this to
replace FAI and also get Cobbler
packaged in the Debian trees.
The sample.seed will produce a partly automated install (specifically,
should not ask for language and keyboard), but the message
about missing CD is very likely due to absence of network enabled initrd.
If possible, try an ubuntu import, as the initrd is probably more
versatile. In the case of debian, the netinstall CD will not be
imported because it has only a isolinux directory, but as far as I
remember there is a "heavy" network install CD that might work.
Anyway, I'll investigate this.
Anyway, I've applied everything to devel and otherwise looks
awesome. Thanks very much for working on this!
I've been revisiting the previous import code, and I'm working in a
small refactoring that will probably re-enable importing of multiple
distros at the same time, at the price of all of them sharing a single
breed specified at command line, and will also make easier to add
other distros.
