If I run the installer using the following command-line parameters, only the IPv6

If I remove « netcfg/disable_autoconfig » from the command-line above, only the

I am afraid this in a limitation in netcfg, with or without preseeding.
As far as I can see, autoconfiguration tries to automatically configure
both IPv4 and IPv6 and ignores static parameters; disabling it allows to
configure either IPv4 or IPv6 with static parameters, but not both.
There are no per-address family automatic/static configuration settings.
