Hi Holger! Thanks for your help with this. Automated d-i testing was probably the first thing I wanted to do as we begin to put an unofficial release together.

This method isn't suitable for kfreebsd. To automatically boot an .iso, we'd need to edit the grub.cfg inside of it somehow. The easiest alternative - something I emailed to you a while ago but I didn't really get finished - is to extract a PXE netboot installer tarball, edit the boot parameters in the grub.cfg, and TFTP boot it (with Qemu's internal DHCP+TFTP sevices). That kinda resembles what a large-scale deployment on real hardware might do. I'll look into one or both options later this evening and get back to you, with a Git pull request ideally.
