That's great. Hope this helps others, too.

If I correctly remember there's a way to use unattended.txt files
according to the mac address as (mac-address-here).txt. Perhaps this
could be a way here, too, if somebody knows if there is (or we can get
somewhere from) an environment variable with the mac address to use it
during postinst.sh.
Or put in /etc/master something like
val=$(get_cmdline_param z_special)
[ -n "$val" ] && Z_SPECIAL=${val#*=}
(around line 180 there same is done for Z_PATH etc.).
Then, in postinst.sh you can have:
if [ -n $Z_SPECIAL ] ; then
# FOR IBM ...
else
# FOR NORMAL PC ...
fi
So, if you specify e.g. "z_special=1" on the linuxboot command line,
your script gets executed.

I think I've read that Brad Erdman is working on a solution to install
Vista with Bart's PE.
