I am trying to compose a real basic preseed file, that will answer
all the d-i questions so that the install is completely automated.
This works on a PXE boot (with dhcp) but not with a CD boot (with
dhcp). I still get asked to confirm my hostname, domain name and
also if I want to install grub on the MBR with the CD install, but
not the PXE install. What gives?
For the hostname:
d-i netcfg/get_hostname string test
d-i netcfg/hostname string test
For grub:
d-i grub-installer/with_other_os boolean true
d-i grub-installer/only_debian boolean true
The domain name cannot be preseeded.
This is recommended:

Yeah - I used that for inspiration. I guess I should add the grub parts so
that the questions are not asked. Thanks for that.
However, I am concerned why a CD d-i behaves differently to a PXE d-i. It,
of course, could be that I am using different versions (the ISO image I
have is old)
so I will try the latest images and see what happens. I am using a
netinst CD
image if that makes any difference.
Cheers
Iain
