If you write 'linux DEBCONF_PRIORITY=' on the boot prompt, you get the
manual installation from debian-installer.

Well, sure, that would be convinient.  But it is not as simple as just
changing /etc/network/interfaces.  You need to track down and fix all
the configuration files using IP addresses as well.  This is not
implemented yet, so there is no use presenting this option at the
moment.  It would just make a broken installation.

I would like to get this working, but it isn't at the moment.  Someone
need to do some work to get it working.
