For the record, what's currently on the PXE server is below. (Note that DNS is unreliable in this environment, thus the hardcoded address for demeter.)
default ks
label ks
kernel vmlinuz
append netcfg/get_hostname= locale=en_US console-setup/layoutcode=us interface=auto url= http://18.9.60.73/installer/jaunty/debathena-jaunty.preseed initrd=initrd.img

It's available for testing now via option 9. It should also be autodetecting i386 vs. amd64.
There are still some preseed options that don't work properly, and install-debathena.sh still blows out, though.

This is mostly done. The installer occasionally fails non-deterministically and barfs in pkgsel, causing it to full install debathena-cluster, and then fully uninstall it.
Additional testing is required and would be helpful. This may or may not be limited to amd64.

The PXE setup should really be installing Lucid directly, not via Jaunty. The "vanilla install" option should also provide Jaunty.
See also #333, which this will probably fix with no additional work.

This got fixed a while ago. We're still using a front-end loader which happens to be the jaunty install kernel and then kexecing what we really want, but the "vanilla" option has been switched to Lucid as well.
