Please test autoinstalls for 20.04!

I’d appreciate some additional clarity on the process for loading autoinstall config at boot time, as the documentation is very sparse here.

My use case is a little different from the quickstart example – I’m using HashiCorp Packer with the VirtualBox builder. This also supplies the config file (preseeding or autoinstall or whatever) at a local HTTP address, but when I boot with an equivalent command line, I’m dropped into the installer with no automation and no error messages. Here’s the grub boot commands I’m using:

set gfxpayload=keep
linux /casper/vmlinuz autoinstall ds=nocloud-net;s=http://10.0.2.2:8028/autoinstall.yaml ---
initrd /casper/initrd
boot
