I have an issue with creating partitions when installing Wheezy from preseed file.
When I run the procedure, everything that gets created is one large partition for / which takes the complete disk. I wanted a / with the maximum size of 9G, and the rest would be unpartitioned (later it gets an LVM volume manually). Experimenting, I added a swap partition and a separate /home, which I will delete later. But nothing gets done except big root. Can someone look into it? The complete file is:

Furthermore, the installer still asks for keyboard. Not a big deal, but it bugs me. This is PXE entry.

Saving of debug logs also doesn't work, but I catch them on host (not /target) and copy them to the /target.
I also want to ask me the hostname,
d-i netcfg/hostname string pxeinstalled
d-i netcfg/hostname seen false, but it doesn't ask me... Lots of small issues...
I must add a user to "sudo" group, or I won't be able to become super user (root is not able to log in).
