if i understand correctly, the OP wanted to know how to install winXP using
unattended *on an extended partition*.
As i see it, this might as well be a primary partition too, just not the
first one (one can have 4 primary partitions on a disk, iirc)
Just a wild guess, but if u are using nt5x-install, isn't there some stuff
inside about using /dev/dskXXX as target for:
* copying ntldr.bin
* mounting as /c to copy the files to...
maybe u can try your luck there.
You can use the trick described in another post on this ML for easy modding
the file and testing...

*seeing there a file named nt5x-install.patch in the attachment, i suppose
it's necessary to build a custom initrd containing the patched version of
this file, something that i currently don't have the time/skills/knowledge
for - nor will i have in the near future, alas -*
*or can u provide one?*
Sorry, I forgot to mention about nt5x-install in my previous posts.
The good news is you don't need to to build another custom initrd :-)
So what you have to do:
*1. copy file <unattended>/linuxboot/misc/nt5x-install as
<unattended>/install/site/nt5x-install and patch this last one.*
*2. Then update site/config.pl to ask to use this new file:*
*config.pl:$u->{'_meta'}->{'ntinstall_cmd'} = '/z/site/nt5x-install' ;*
An why copy it into install/site/ ? Well, since this driver(s) search
mechanism is not integrated into unattended project, a good idea will be to
avoid modifying the unattended source(s).
Here I use the <unattended>/install/site/ directory for all my specific
stuff, hence the instructions below.
