I got the suggestion to use nlite or winfuture and create an installation with the drivers integrated. Thanks for the suggestion. I tried winfuture. I got a Windows CD that now appears to work fine (at least it got past the first reboot so far), but unfortunately unattended still does not work on the computer - the computer dies immediately after trying to boot from the hard disk after the first reboot. I suspect the issue isn't driver related...
