Ubuntu Preseed not found

Hello there!

I am not certain that this is the proper place to post this, but I will try anyway.

I am trying to install Ubuntu using a preseed on a USB thumb drive, and I am having problems. Hopefully someone here is able to help me.

I have a file named 'preseed.cfg' in the root directory of my thumb drive.

I am installing using an Ubuntu Server x86 v8.04 CD.

At boot, I press F6 to enter the advanced options menu, and, to my boot options, add the line:
Code:
preseed/file=/hd-media/preseed.cfg

I enter my language, country, keyboard type, etc..

Then, I get this message:
Quote:
[!!] Load debconf preconfiguration file
Failed to retrieve the preconfiguration file
... from file:///hd-media/preseed.cfg ...
Anyone have any solutions as to how I can make the installation find the file?
