ERROR: Failed to retrieve the preconfiguration file. The file needed for preconfiguration could not

[Jarah Conway]

Hello,

Attached are my code and the screenshot of the error I get. It can't seem to run the preseed .cfg. I read somewhere that I need to get firewall disabled. I tried doing that with a shell script in provisions, but still to no avail. Can anyone help?

Since you are adding the preseed.cfg to the floppy i'll recommend that you start with changing your boot command to load it from floppy instead of network.

You should also troubleshoot your network setup by accessing the VMs console and verify that the network have started correctly and that you have connectivity to your packer host.
