I took d-i, cdrom-detect and iso-scan from git and added like 5 lines to it: D-I: load iso-scan and load-iso to the cdrom build cdrom-detect: do not run when booted with "findiso" parameter iso-scan: when run after a successful cdrom-detect, do not run the modified ISO can be found here: http://people.debian.org/~evgeni/tmp/debian-7.0-amd64-NETINST-findiso.iso patched git trees: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/evgeni/tmp/debian-installer.git;a=summary http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/evgeni/tmp/cdrom-detect.git;a=summary http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/evgeni/tmp/iso-scan.git;a=summary How to use: boot as cdrom OR grub2: loopback loop /debian-7.0-amd64-NETINST-findiso.iso set root=(loop) linux /install.amd/vmlinux findiso initrd /install.amd/initrd.gz boot OR kvm: kvm -kernel dest/cdrom/vmlinuz -initrd dest/cdrom/initrd.gz \ -append 'findiso' -hda /tmp/blah -boot a with dest/cdrom the d-i freshly built stuff (or from iso), /tmp/blah an qemu image with fs, with the iso in it. the currently only glitch is, that both modules are displayd in the UI when booted. is there any way to remove a module after another was successful? sorry, i'm a d-i n00b. comments highly appreciated!
