I had a cool trick under Tiger for imaging new machines. On first boot the machine would obviously enter the Setup Assistant, and so the only practical way to image them was to have them on the same subnet as your netboot server to hold down the N key. Under Tiger I could kickstart the etc/rc script, and as it brought up the network there was just enough time to curl down a remote script that blasted the nvram to reboot and remotely netboot from an imaging server. Now under Leopard the script is gone, and I can’t seem to figure out how to kickstart the network to be able to curl down the script. Obviously with wanting to do this to brand new, out-of-the-box machines, I don’t have any extra options to play with in terms of adding things to the machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
