Yeah that's the way I initially populated my central unattend.txt file's 
_meta section - reading the results of my manual entries, post install! 
Some other sections too.

Ah yes, replace_mbr that's the one. The one you're looking for now is 
fdisk_confirm = 1 (or 0) in the same section.
edit_files is another one which might be handy - 0 or 1. It's a final 
confirmation prompt berfore install on the three relevant files, 
including unattend.txt

I don't actually know which fdisk is used, but it looks quite DOS-like 
to me. From memory FreeDOS is in play, but don't quote me (:

Right on - something I'll have to deal with in the next few months with 
either unattended or some other setup since we're wanting to further 
automate the process.
