To my understanding this passing is achieved by argument
file=/cdrom/preseed/preseed.cfg
with no need for a preceeding argument "APPEND".

For that i'd need to know where this tab is.

If it works for you then it's a good hint for others.

Because "APPEND" in a separate line is a SYSLINUX/ISOLINUX configuration
directive and because you wrote on Tue, 11 Oct 2022 23:17:39 +0200:

This is the configuration file for ISOLINUX which boots on legacy BIOS.
(I think it is wrong by not giving APPEND an own line, so that ISOLINUX
would recognize it as configuration directive. See
https://wiki.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Config
)

Now i want to improve my skills by learning what exactly did the
trick for you. So i ask for the favor that you test whether "APPEND" is
needed for success.
(And further i ask for the favor to give me a link to that Cubic preseed
documentation.)
Have a nice day :)
