Public bug reported:
if you pxeboot an image and hand it a preseed file, and in that preseed
file you have:
d-i netcfg/choose_interface select eth0
it doesn't work and it pops up a menu and asks you what interface you
want as your default interface.
If, however, you pass netcfg/choose_interface=eth0 to the kernel as a
boot option - it works as expected and does not display a menu option
for this value.
In a room full of headless machines being booted by cobbler, displaying
menus is bad, as is not having those machines be able to find dhcp.
