I mean within a file system. I specify what I want by entering the following at the boot prompt: expert auto file=/media/preseed.cfg Which tells d-i I want to use a specific file within a specific directory. So far so good. That directory is the root of /dev/sdb1. Unfortunately, d-i finds a partition at /dev/sdaX, mounts that, and (rightly) reports no preseed file. Oops. I'd like either a) to specify which partition the preseed file is on (/dev/sdb1 in this case), or b) have d-i sample partitions until it finds a file of that name in the root directory of a partition. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
