As requested in #1101.
I haven't yet attempted to build this.

Building a definition from this template fails because it cannot get past the typing sequence on the boot screen. This sequence has to be revised and probably the preseed configuration too.

I managed to do some finagling and was able to get it to boot by manually typing into at the boot menu...
Type:

<Esc><F6><Esc>

brings up an editable partial boot string then prepend to the front of that prompt

DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive preseed/url=http://10.0.2.2:7122/preseed.cfg vga=788 fb=false

Final tested results:

  • Full unattended not yet working
  • Manual intervention at the boot screen began and finished installing unattended
  • The preseed seems adequate
  • the vbox.sh installer references aptitude which is not present and will need to be replaced with apt-get
  • chef.sh failed
  • puppet.sh didn't run, I commented it out
  • box is useable
