Alternative methods for inserting preseed files

[ago]

Casper (as of Ubuntu 7.10) supports the boot argument
find_preseed=/path/to/mypreseed.cfg. That will scan all devices for a
preseed file in the specified path and load it via initrd preseeding
if found. If there is a folder called "override_files" it will be made
available as /root/tmp/override_files. If there is an early_command in
the preseed file it will be executed, which in turn can use any file
within override_files.
