Yes, three options available to you; first at the end of expert install you 
can select to create an auto install diskette, second you can use the 
mandrake control center (boot) to generate an auto install diskette and 
third, you can look in /root/drakx; there you will find the auto_inst.cfg.pl 
which matches your install, replay_install.img which you can 'dd' to create a 
diskette.


 Related question - is it possible to specify size of (some of the)

Yes

 partitions in percentage of available space? Also, on install with several
 drivers I never have seen any mention of file system - partition
 relationship. How do I tell on which drive each which partition goes?


Check here for more details on partitions/partitioning amoung other things: 
http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~prigaux/AutoInstall-8.2.1.html

Also you could install the drakx-autoinstall-doc-8.2.1-1mdk package.

Pixel may be able to provide more info
