The default may be /ubuntu, but the setting needs to point to the dir where the 
files are, which is indeed /ubuntu/breezy:

root at shaz:/var/lib/tftpboot/ubuntu/breezy # ls -l /var/www/
total 96
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    24 2005-06-27 16:07 ubuntu -> /var/lib/tftpboot/ubuntu

/var/lib/tftpboot/ubuntu/ubuntu-5.04-install-i386.iso on 
/var/lib/tftpboot/ubuntu/hoary type iso9660 (ro,loop=/dev/loop0)

/var/lib/tftpboot/ubuntu/breezy-install-i386.iso on 
/var/lib/tftpboot/ubuntu/breezy type iso9660 (ro,loop=/dev/loop2)

So I have to do a full interactive install?

The defaults for the interactive install are stored somewhere - If they aren't in 
the same format as the preseed file maybe a script can convert it?
