You can do this with preseed/late_command (https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/apbs05.en.html#preseed-hooks, and see https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/apb.en.html for general advice on preseeding if you haven't used it before). Something like this should work: d-i preseed/late_command string mkdir -p /target/root/.ssh; echo 'ssh-rsa ...' >/target/root/.ssh/authorized_keys -- Colin Watson (he/him) [cjwat...@debian.org]
