Bug Description

https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/preseed-using.html#preseed-auto

Advises adding "auto url=server" to the boot options for network preseeding, when the preseed file is located at http://server/d-i/lucid/preseed.cfg.

However,
1) the "auto" option doesn't appear to do anything,
2) "url=server" doesn't work, but "url=http://server/d-i/lucid/preseed.cfg" does work.
