I have further questions, generally and particularly about what Mattias has said here, so I'll comment them and ask below.

[Unattended] LegacyNIC = 1
What does this do? I can't find any doco referring to it.
DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore <-- Needed to use non-WHQL-drivers
OemPreinstall=Yes <-- Needed to use driver folders
Aha! That's what was missing. "copy folders" etc... a related page with
a breakdown of where the files go:http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/all/deployguide/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/all/deployguide/en-us/acicb_ui_wbgu.asp
Some more info about the process wrt drivers:

[Data]
UnattendedInstall=Yes <-- also needed for drivers
floppyless=1
Is this setting useful?
[NetOptionalComponents]
LPDSVC=1
What does this one do? I found a comment in someone's unattended.txt
"Install Print Services for UNIX", but how does this help? I can already
add LPD printers once Windows is installed.It is also very interesting to interrupt the first reboot of the
installation after copying files to the hard disk, have a look with a
bootdisk what exactly has been copied. It will take some time to understand
the whole process going on,especially install.pl.
Cool, I will do just that, at some point. I have another issue with install.pl / config.pl but I'll put that in another posting.
Thanks again! I am a very happy man right now that I can get drivers installed with Windows setup rather than manually.
Greg.
