  note for pxe boot with local repository

Status in installation-guide package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in installation-guide source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released
Status in installation-guide source package in Utopic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Documentation is missing a critical piece of preseed configuration, which can lead to network-based installations to fail to run.

  [Test Case]
  1- Look at doc/install/manual/example-preseed.txt.gz on ubuntu-server CDs.
  2- Example for d-i live-installer/net-image preseed is missing, under Base install section.

  [Regression Potential]
  Minimal. This is limited to documentation strings.

  ----

  When pxe boot with local repository, there is an error about
  filesystem.squashfs

  but

  after we add below line on preseed.cfg,  it works fine.

  ###
  d-i live-installer/net-image string http://IP/PATH/install/filesystem.squashfs
  ###

  It's better if this note is in documentation
