[Bug 855921] Re: does not honor netcfg/choose_interface in preseed
Okay, so this one might be a little tricky...
Our preseed is coming in over http (via the url=http://... parameter in
the kernel command line). That necessitates a network up.
I think what we'll need to do is to force the orchestra configuration to
default the choose_interface to eth0, and document that this needs to be
tweaked for any systems where that's not the case.

Bug description:
if you pxeboot an image and hand it a preseed file, and in that
preseed file you have:
d-i netcfg/choose_interface select eth0
it doesn't work and it pops up a menu and asks you what interface you
want as your default interface.
If, however, you pass netcfg/choose_interface=eth0 to the kernel as a
boot option - it works as expected and does not display a menu option
for this value.
In a room full of headless machines being booted by cobbler,
displaying menus is bad, as is not having those machines be able to
find dhcp.
