You've got the syntax of the Kickstart 'preseed' command a little wrong.
It should be:

  preseed --owner sun-java6-bin shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1 boolean true

  $ wget -q -O- http://www.engr.uconn.edu/~rohitm/syslog.gz | zcat | grep kickseed

That's what the "preseed command requires key, type, and value" errors
are about.
