Can't help you debug your sfdisk, but the magic cobbler
(http://cobbler.et.redhat.com) uses by default is the following...
%include /tmp/partinfo
%pre
# Determine how many drives we have
set \$(list-harddrives)
let numd=\$#/2
d1=\$1
d2=\$3
cat << EOF > /tmp/partinfo
part / --fstype ext3 --size=1024 --grow --ondisk=\$d1 --asprimary
part swap --size=1024 --ondisk=\$d1 --asprimary
EOF
This has been working very well.
There shouldn't be any reason to call sfdisk that I'm aware of.
(Thanks to Chip S. for the tip)
