I have investigated this situation a little bit. The most elegant way to introduce preseeding (and firmware) capability seems to use bootloaders capability to concatenate multiple "initrd" cpio archives. At least Syslinux (since 2005)[1] and Yaboot should support this (elilo don't seems to support it, yet) Syslinux/PXELinux, the syntax is |label install | menu label ^Install | menu default | kernel debian-installer/lenny/i386/linux | append vga=normal | initrd=path/to/initrd.gz,path/to/morestuff.cpio.gz For Yaboot, the syntax is |image=/vmlinux | label=install | initrd=/initrd.gz|morestuff.cpio.gz | initrd-size=14030 | append="--" | read-only I'll test it. If that work, would it be ok to modify the default netboot images ?
