Dear Otavio, I am not sure how far this can help, but I tested today's daily build of netboot (amd64) on the Amazon cloud, and it worked well unattended with the following preseed file. I am not yet able to test if the installed system is bootable; I need to package cloud-init first. By the way, I have a question. What is the difference between the netboot and the xen image ? I thought I would need the xen image on the Amazon cloud, but it worked well with the simple netboot (which is good as the xen image did not build today). Have a nice week-end, -- Charles Plessy Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Japan
