It's a good idea to keep unattended things on list, even though I was 
the one who took it off-list. Sorry about that (:

The way I initially created my server-side unattended.txt was to answer 
those questions manually for an installation, then look in 
C:\netinst\unattend.txt after the installation was complete. I used 
entries from there to populate ./unattended/install/site/unattend.txt

eg I've pasted below the partitioning options from my file:
[_meta]
fdisk_cmds = "fdisk /clear 1;fdisk /pri:100,100;fdisk /delete 
/pri:1;fdisk /pri:10,100;fdisk /activate:1"
replace_mbr = 1
format_cmd = "format /y /z:seriously /q /u /a /v: c:"

I still get prompted for "do you wish to format Y/N" but in looking at 
my current file, I've just seen the line "fdisk_confirm" so I wonder if 
I should play with that.


I think the two boot options have something to do with the unattended 
process, and are directly related to the content of C:\boot.ini. I see 
the menu come up for (I think) three seconds early in the process of 
unattended installation.

I don't get the two options after the unattended process is finished, so 
maybe something isn't complete for you? Someone else might be able to 
explain better.

Cheers,
Greg.
