I don't think your problem is with clearpart, if you don't specify
--ondisk for each partition entry, then it is going to look at all your
drives to determine which ones have available space that partitions can
be allocated to.

I do use --ondisk as below:

clearpart --all --drives=hda
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=50 --ondisk=hda
part / --fstype ext3 --size=4800 --ondisk=hda
part swap --size=128 --grow --maxsize=256 --ondisk=hda


Thanks.
