you could copy that to partition_select_new and change
$SNIPPET('partition_select') $SNIPPET('partition_select_new') in the ks
file (located in /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts)

Merry Christmas to you All:
Someone on this list helped me over a year ago to set up Cobbler ...
now version 2.0.11.
I do have the following question:
As it is set up now, Cobbler installs CentOS 5 or 6 on servers using
LVM, Cluster Logical Volume Manager (see here:
http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Cluster_Logical_Volume_Manager/).
That has created lots of problems for me when e.g. I try to replace
one of two disks in a server (loosing data of one of the disks). It is
really complicated. It would therefore be VERY helpful if one of you
could be so very kind to post a full sample "partition_select" snippet
for a server with two disks with a standard setup -- not LVM.
Here is how then now looks presently in my Cobbler install:

/var/lib/cobbler/snippets/partition_select
---------
%include /tmp/partinfo
%pre
# Determine how many drives we have
set \$(list-harddrives)
let numd=\$#/2
d1=\$1
d2=\$3
#set $vgname = "VolGroup00"
#set $vgbackupname = "VolGroup01"
if [ ! -z \$d1 ]
then
cat << EOF > /tmp/partinfo
part /boot --fstype ext4 --size=140 --ondisk=\$d1
part pv.1 --size=1024 --grow --ondisk=\$d1

volgroup $vgname pv.1
volgroup $vgbackupname pv.2

logvol swap --fstype swap --name=swap --vgname=$vgname --size=1024

logvol /backup --fstype ext4 --name=backup --vgname=$vgbackupname
--size=20480 --grow
EOF
else
cat << EOF > /tmp/partinfo
part /boot --fstype ext4 --size=140 --ondisk=\$d1
part pv.1 --size=1024 --grow --ondisk=\$d1
volgroup $vgname pv.1
