Hi,

I have been playing with d-i recently to install Debian on NSA325[1].
I've got d-i runnin and I have installed Debian more or less
successfuly. There were some issues with kernel packages and I had to
run shell in d-i to manuall install linux-image (and some other
packages) but that is not the issue I'd like to write about now.

To get uImage and uInitrd for my device I have modifed
build/config/armel/kirkwood/network-console.cfg

Q1. What is the difference between (the purpose of) network-console.cfg
and netboot.cfg?

Q1-a. If I want to prepare a patch for d-i to support NSA325 should I
modify netboot.cfg too?

Q1-b. Is there any tutorial or a checklist how to port d-i to a new
platform?

I would like to prepare preseed.cfg to automate installation and I'd
like d-i to download authorized_keys file so I put

    d-i network-console/authorized_keys_url string 
ftp://192.168.1.1/pub/openssh-key

in the preseed.cfg. However, I can't find it in /.ssh/authorized_keys on
a running d-i and it seems that this value is used during
installation[2] of network-console which makes it kind of useless for
uImage with the network-console preinstalled?

Q2. Is it possible to download authorized_keys onto a d-i image with the
network-console package preinstalled?
