Subject: Debian Installer: Specifying the preseed file device?
To: Debian Users <debian-user@lists.debian.org>

I can specify the path to the preseed file when booting Debian Installer
(d-i). Is there any way to tell it that the preseed file is on device
X, say /dev/sdb1?

Once d-i is booted and in the installation menu, I can activate a
console, manually umount the incorrect partition, and manually mount
the correct one. But that's a bit awkward.

Does anybody read signatures any more?

You mean: the file is as raw data on the device? Or whithin a file
system there?

Yes, sometimes.
