Please see the image below, is there a preseed directive to skip this Debian9 installer step?

Currently I use the following config relevant to the package manager:

### Apt setup
d-i apt-setup/non-free boolean true
d-i apt-setup/contrib boolean true
d-i apt-setup/local0/source boolean true

### Package selection
tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard

### Mirror settings
d-i mirror/country string manual
d-i mirror/http/hostname string httpredir.debian.org
d-i mirror/http/directory string /debian
d-i mirror/http/proxy string

Debian9 Installer

For it not to scan your DVD/netinst image, add these directives to your preseeding configuration:

d-i apt-setup/cdrom/set-first boolean false
d-i apt-setup/cdrom/set-next boolean false   
d-i apt-setup/cdrom/set-failed boolean false

    Do you have URL to the docs? I couldn't find these directives in the [Stretch example preseed](https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/example-preseed.txt) file. – NarūnasK Dec 07 '17 at 12:29
  • You find them in linaro cfg files https://images.validation.linaro.org/kvm/debian-8.3.0-cd1-preseed.cfg and I suspect they were patches done around 2014 after a bug was filled – Rui F Ribeiro Dec 07 '17 at 14:04

    The documentation for this preseed thing is horrible and scattered all over the internet. – MaXi32 Mar 28 '21 at 21:55

    Glad I found this answer, happen on Debian 10 and I don't think it's patched. – MaXi32 Mar 29 '21 at 02:46
