Hi guys,
I would like to install my Debian machines with the Pressed D-I feature.
At this moment, I dont have a decent DHCP/BootP server yet, and waiting
for this to be achieved, I want to manually provide the IP address at
the boot prompt.
I already use it on others distributions install, but I miss the right
syntax on Debian.
What I want is to issue something similar to
[...] ip=xxxxx netmask=yyyy gateway=zzzzz
preseed/url=http://host/preseed.cfg
My guess, reading the documentation is I cant directly put some preseed
parameters in the boot parameters.
What I want would be:
[...] netcfg/get_ipaddress=92.168.1.42 \
netcfg/get_netmask=255.255.255.0 \
netcfg/get_gateway=192.168.1.1 \
preseed/url=http://host/preseed.cfg
Am I right?

Adding the below section in your preseed.cfg should work, hth.
# Static network configuration.
#d-i netcfg/get_nameservers string 192.168.124.1
#d-i netcfg/get_ipaddress string 192.168.1.6
#d-i netcfg/get_netmask string 255.255.255.0
#d-i netcfg/get_gateway string 192.168.124.1
#d-i netcfg/confirm_static boolean true
Am I right?

Yes, but how do I setup the network from the boot prompt?

Not sure though. Buw when it can be preseeded what is the purpose or intent of having it to set from boot prompt?

Use the expert option in the installer.

The installer asks you how to set up your network.
It also prompts for the location of a preseed file.
Those two prompts between them should give you enough to go forward.
Hope this helps, with all good wishes,

may not be needed). If the default keymap works use the skip option I've
suggested - otherwise replace it with the one you use. Domain is optional.
Note also that the backslash is not needed.
Essentially you need to supply all the answers to question up to and
including network configuration - then your preseed file will supply the
rest.
auto=true priority=critical locale=$YourCountry.UTF-8 keymap=skip-config
netcfg/disable_dhcp=true netcfg/confirm_static=true
netcfg/get_ipaddress=192.168.0.56 netcfg/get_netmask=255.255.255.0
netcfg/get_gateway=192.168.0.6 netcfg/get_nameservers=8.8.8.8 8.8.8.4
modules=usb-storage hostname=preseed domain=dev auto
url=192.168.0.2/preseed.cfg
Kind regards

Because when you boot from a bootable install media and you have no DHCP

nor BootP server and you want to pressed from a network located preseed
file, you have to manually setup an IP address in order to download the
preseed file.
