I tried using the IP I set. However, the IP I set in the preseed isn't what ifconfig will display. I set 192.*, but end up with 10.*.
IIRC, NAT is used initially in Virtualbox which explains the 10.*? If I use the 10.* in Packer, it doesn't work either, probably due to NAT and the VM not being accessible in that way? Either that or I have a bad preseed file in terms of networking, DHCP...
