I have the latest testing netinst (20240722-03:17), and would like to
install it on a virtual machine. I have a preseed file on a USB stick.
As this is a virtual machine, the virtual hard drive is at vda, and the
USB stick shows up at sda.

When I go to load the debconf file, the installer doesn't find it. I
then go to a console and manually mount the USB stick on /media. I can
then ls the stick, more the preseed file, etc. When I then go back to
the installer, it still cannot find the preseed file, and the USB stick
has been unmounted.

This has worked in the past.

I boot from the help screen with the command line:

expert auto file=/media/preseed.cfg

I notice that the error message indicates that the installer failed to
process "file:///media/preseed.cfg" (note the three slashes).

Does anybody read signatures any more?
