Comments/Problems:
Until in Bullseye and Bookworm Alpha 1, passing the arguments ...
/install.amd/vmlinuz auto=true priority=critical vga=off interface=auto
initrd=/install.amd/initrd.gz --- console=ttyS0,115200n8
... boots the installer and progresses on its own up to the point where it
needs to ask about the location of the preseed file ("Download debconf
preconfiguration file").
For Bookworm Alpha 2 and RC1 however, the installer, during the detection of
network link on each interface, once testing the Wi-Fi ones, complains about
the WPA passphrase being invalid:
[!]! Configure the network
Invalid passphrase
The WPA/WPA2 PSK passphrase was either too long (more than 64 characters) or
too short (less than 8 characters).
I can either chose "Continue" (presents the same error message again) or back
(which allows me to store the logs), but there seems to be no way of
progressing with the installation.
Possible workarounds:
- Remove Wi-Fi cards from machine during installation
- Specify interface to be used (e.g. interface=enp2s0)
