I believe everything on the server is correct as I’m able to choose the NetInstall image from the Startup Disk System Preference Pane. But when I go to restart I first get the blinking globe for a while, and then eventually it goes to the blinking system folder, and then just times out and boots from the drive (with the old install). Now NetInstall would be ideal as we have many machines that are running with KVM extenders (CPU is in the machine room, while the screens and users sit elsewhere). Not needing to boot off a CD or trying to do something with a drive would be great. The machine imaged was G5 quad, all configured up to the individual bits. I can hack around it to do the immediate machines, but this is just a perfect time to get NetInstall running (since I’ve got 4 nearly identical machines to config).
here’s the NetBoot service log:
