Okay - I have actually gotten this to work now, by fiddling a bit. Here 
is what I did.

Booted off the regular CentOs 4.3 install CD (stat still recognizes the 
drives !). Partition disks for raid. Installing a minimal server system.

Reboot.

When the server is up, put in the NuOnce CD
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
cd /mnt/CentOS/RPMS
rpm -Uvh *.rpm --force
cp /mnt/PKGS /tmp/

reboot

When the server is up again:

cd /tmp/PKGS
for a in $(cat install.files) ; do
   /usr/sausalito/sbin/pkg_prepare -i -f ./$a
done
sh install.script

The go to http://ip/login and configure as you would normally do.

Phew - this has taken a while to figure out - maybe someone could tell 
me how to put this down on an installer CD?
