The slipstream method works fine and as I recall is supported by MS. I would suggest though checking your build number on the SQL server to see if there is a cumulative update or the like that you'll need to add to your slipstream.

As the base media only comes in GA, I had a quick look at what it takes to make slipstreamed media and frankly it looks like a hack. Anyone actually do this in production or is the only supported method to add the feature then reapply sp2?
