Preseed url isn't retrieved during PXE install from alternate media

[Marc Tardif]

I'm attempting to install Feisty beta from the alternate media by booting from PXE. The following files were copied from the installation media to the tftp directory:

1. install/netboot/pxelinux.0
2. install/vmlinuz
3. install/initrd.gz
4. pxelinux.cfg/default with the following content:

DEFAULT preseed

LABEL preseed
    kernel linux
    append vga=normal initrd=initrd.gz DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 debconf/priority=critical url=http://192.168.2.60/preseed/feisty locale=en_US console-setup/ask_detect=false console-setup/layoutcode=us hw-detect/start_pcmcia=false netcfg/choose_interface=eth0

When the installation process attempts to fetch the preseed file, a red error message appears stating that the preseed file could not be fetched. Here are a few interesting observations:

1. The network interface is enabled at this point which actually enabled me to fetch the syslog attached below.
2. The http server on 192.168.2.60 does not display any requests in the logs.
