Do you mean booting from a netinst CD, or was this netboot. At the moment booting from floppy, CD, or USB stick supports loading preseed files from floppy as you tried above, but netboot supports only preseed/url. Just tested preseed/file, it does work. > The installer could not load the file, it "may be corrupt". It was > existing and readable on floppy.

Well it does sound like you have a broken preseed file there. Try running it through debconf-set-selections to get better error messages. -- see shy jo
