The --config option in si_mkautoinstalldisk doesn't work as expected...
and this is a bug...
It simply copies the local.cfg file in the root of the USB/disk device,
instead of into the initrd. The correct solution should be to include it
directly into the initrd using
SystemImager::UseYourOwnKernel->create_uyok_initrd() via
si_mkbootpackage or si_prepareclient.
The following patch (just checked in the developers' trunk) move the
--config option from si_mkautoinstalldisk to si_mkbootpackage and
si_prepareclient.
If you don't want to apply the patch, simply add all your installation
parameters into the kernel append string, using --append
option with si_mkautoinstalldisk.
