I'm trying to add my preseed.cfg file into the root of the initrd, as
mentioned is possible in the debian preseed documentation:
http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/apbs02.html#preseed-loading
So once I've mounted the boot cd, copied the initrd.gz to a temp
location I try to add it to the cpio initrd file:
cat preseed.cfg | cpio -ovcA -O initrd
cpio: premature end of file
If I try to fully extract the cpio file it tries to create device nodes,
which it can't because I'm not root (and don't want to become because I
need to package all these steps up into a script that won't run as root).
So how is this supposed to be done? Surely someone here's had to do it
before?
