Subiquity.autoinstallpath when doing NFS via ipxe

Ubuntu Version:

24.04.2 Desktop

Desktop Environment (if applicable):

Gnome

Problem Description:

Hey i try to do a fully automated installation of ubuntu 24.04.2 with the latest subiquity version 24.04.2 Release 24.04.2 · canonical/subiquity · GitHub

I need to use NFS because some clients cannot load the 6 GiB ISO into ram (root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=1500000) .

Here is ipxe menu in my server :

kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/os/ubuntu/24.04D/vmlinuz
initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/os/ubuntu/24.04D/initrd
imgargs vmlinuz initrd=initrd root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:/images/os/ubuntu24_04_02/ locale=fr_FR.UTF-8 net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 ipv6.disable=1 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=fr ip=dhcp rw hostname=INSTALL-U24 subiquity.autoinstallpath=zfs-autoinstall.yaml
boot || goto MENU

of course i double checked that my zfs-autoinstall.yaml file is in right place .

the very thin doc says :

Alternatively, you can pass the location of the autoinstall file on the kernel command line via the subiquity.autoinstallpath parameter, where the path is relative to the root directory of the installation system. For example:

so i put the file in /images/os/ubuntu24_04_02/zfs-autoinstall.yaml

it’s the root of the ubuntu iso files.

Systems boots correctly but i still have the interactive menu asking me a lot of questions and if i want to update the installer AND to provide an automation file .

How can i achieve a fully automated installation without any user interaction simply ?

Thank you for any advice.
