Installing base system using debootstrap

['Forum Post]

To get the server install you need to type server at the boot promt or
edit the cfg file used to boot.  I am using the pxelinux.0 and
pxelinux.cfg script on my tftp server.  I only want the server version
to install and have tried to make it an automated process.  Here is the
cfg file.

The append line should be 1 line.. no more than 8 parameters or the
kernel will panic.  The one that seems to make it a server is:

base-config/package-selection= 

with nothing after the =

Good luck and I hope this is helpfull
