Well, the boot floppies have a "quiet" mode that asks less questions. If
that mode is on, it writes VERBOSE=quiet to /root/dbootstrap_settings,
and base-coonfig picks up on it and sets up debconf to only ask critical
questions.
I didn't think quiet mode was the default though. I thought it was
enabled with a boot flag. You can test by doing an install, and when
base-config comes up, log in on another tty (erm, if you can -- serial
console may present difficulties here), and see if that file has that
line.
