Bug Description
Binary package hint: debian-installer
Looks similar to #40186, but that is closed.
Outline:
With edgy it's no longer possible to access first hard-drive with preseed as /dev/discs/
Problem:
With dapper it's possible to define the first disc as:
d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/discs/
With edgy it's only possible to define the first disc as:
d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda
or
d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/hda

Those paths were a remnant of devfs, and it got removed completely for edgy.
at least with feisty you can use this:
d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda /dev/hda
(or similar, check the docs)
