How do I set up pxe boot to use preseed
I have a working 18.04 kickstart installation using PXE. I'm trying to set up preseed (because there are issues with ks that I want to get around). That setup is below as well, but it doesn't use my preseed.cfg file. I've tried it with and without the url/checksum=, and also using a specified file vs. directory. What am I missing. Documentation seems to be a little vague here, or I haven't found the right documentation.
