Description
The preseed_kernel_options snippet creates the kernel command line for preseed installed systems. It supplies some parts of the network config on the command line, so the system does not need to look that up itself.
For use with iPXE (referenced e.g. in "Preseed default iPXE"), it tries to use iPXE-internal variables ("netX/ip" and so on). However those variables are only defined if the system uses DHCPv4, not IPv6 NDP/DHCPv6.
Undefining `ipxe_net` parameter makes it work, by at least providing the IPv4 information on the command line.

The command line in the end contains:
netcfg/disable_dhcp=true netcfg/get_ipaddress= netcfg/get_netmask= netcfg/get_gateway= netcfg/get_nameservers=
This breaks the installation hard.
