On a related note I am trying to get a custom partition scheme that splits the disk up 50/50 in a totally unattended way based on mac address - I can get config.pl to change the fdisk_cmds key in unattend.txt but when I try to run it with a non std set of fdisk commands install.pl chokes - I am running the linux boot disk and from my limited understanding of things linux it seems that install.pl is converting the fdisk commands to parted (the linux equivalent?) and can not map some of the options correctly.
the commands I have tried substituting are fdisk_cmds = "fdisk /clear 1;fdisk /pri:2000;fdisk /activate:1" which works - duplicates the default so that I knew my substitution code was working fdisk_cmds = "fdisk /clear 1;fdisk /pri:4000;fdisk /activate:1" which works but the disk formats fat 32 and so install will not proceed fdisk /pri:50,100;fdisk /pri:100,100 /spec:7;fdisk /delete /pri:1;fdisk /prio:2000;fdisk /activate:1;fdisk /mbr which I hoped would create a place marker partition of 50% make a partition of the rest, delete the 1st partition & replace it with a 2G fat 16 partition - this chokes because install.pl only allows 100 percent selections I tried replacing the percentages with fixed large values, but then install.pl choked on the /delete bit not being able to convert it to a parted command.
