Hi all,

Just been trying to test deployment of images using Debian Jessie via
PXE instead of Wheezy.

We have a preseed script for deploying near-identical builds of machines
for appliances.  The script was based off one I initially wrote for
Ubuntu, which has been ported and extended to Debian Wheezy.

Now I've downloaded today's netboot images, unpack them, and try to
deploy with Jessie.  Checksums of relevant files (from ftp.au.debian.org
this morning):

> b027b65d867ab385a58ce6cff116d37bc006d3ec  
> /srv/tftp/debian-installer/jessie-amd64.tgz
> 333240fa0d83c8ffa75177aa217aec9825a0cac0  
> /srv/tftp/debian-installer/jessie-i386.tgz

obtained by running:
> wget -O jessie-i386.tgz 
> http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/gtk/netboot.tar.gz
> wget -O jessie-amd64.tgz 
> http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/gtk/netboot.tar.gz

No dice.  It won't even look at the preseed file.  It instead carries on
as if nothing has been given on the kernel command line.  Attached is
the kernel command line that I'm using, as seen from the console of a VM.

`wget` successfully downloads this preseed file when I manually run it.

What am I doing wrong that causes the netboot installer to ignore me?

I haven't lost my mind...
  ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.
