Seems to me this should be doable.  Here's what I tried:

I pulled over an image from my golden client, which happens to be a 2 
socket, dual-core workstation with a lot or RAM and 2 scsi disks, only 
one of which is partitioned.

I have another system which also has 2 scsi disks but different sizes 
and a different amount of memory.  Since it has already been imaged with 
SI, I simply took its autoconfigscript.conf file and used IT to build a 
new installation script.

When I tried to image it, the imaging went just find and it even wrote 
out the boot record.  BUT when I tried to boot it I got:

Booting 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 2.6.9-42smp' so I know it can at 
least see some of the O/S, but then it said:

Filesyste type unknown, partition type 0X83
kernel /vmlinux-2.6.9-42smp etc...
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition

I'm guessing there is more to this than just rebuilding the installation 
script but am not sure.  I'm wondering if part of the problem is in 
fstab, but that file matched the partiton structure on the system on 
which the system was built.  Could there be some other files that need 
to be changed to make all this work?  I gotta believe there's an easy 
fix to this but just don't know what it might be.

Sounds like a great opportunity for a FAQ as this would avoid the need 
to have to have a separate image for each slightly differernt machine...
