What I do is partition everything in the preinstall script by echoing commands into fdisk. This makes sure that all of my disks are identical.
%pre
# Create the disk device
mknod /dev/hda
# Set up the partition tables
echo | fdisk /dev/hda <<EOF
o

EOF
echo | fdisk /dev/hda <<EOF

Subject: partitioning
Is it possible to create partitions inside of the pre-install script?
What we are trying to do is install a new machine but we would like to use
the --onpart switch to specify which partitions are where, even if the disk
is brand new with no partitions.
Thanks,
Preston
