At least to one user in the forum already ran into this IIRC, and most
recently Maximiliano too.

This can happen when e.g. copying example answer files with the
first-boot section, without then passing `--on-first-boot` to
proxmox-auto-install-assistant.

In that case, the user would just get a pretty unhelpful error message:

  ERROR: Autoinstaller setup error: No such file or directory (os error 2)

Attach some context, which points the user directly to the corresponding
setting / answer file section.
