Chris,

Possibly, you can use the "set $(list-harddrives)" in your kickstart
config %pre section to determine number of disks and their capacities.
>From that, you may be able to create some logic to create a partitioning
information file that could be included for the disk setup you desire
based on each machines disk arrangement. Check out the following post
for ideas and google "set $(list-harddrives)" for many more.

Regards,
Rodney.
