If you left it empty, anaconda will put the partitions wherever it finds a right place, what I do is to use a small script to force them on first hard drive detected on the system with:

%include /tmp/part-include



and then a %pre script like:
%pre
set $(list-harddrives)
let numd=$#/2 # Number harddrives
d1=$1 # first device
S1=$2 # first device size (and so on)
echo "part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --onpart=$PARTBOOT" >> /tmp/part-include
echo "part pv.100000 --size=1 --grow --onpart=$PARTVOL" >>  /tmp/part-include
echo "volgroup vg0 --pesize=32768 pv.100000" >> /tmp/part-include

and the rest of rour logvols.

Regards
Pablo
