[MacTUG] OS X server - netboot and netinstall disks

[Donald Duff-McCracken]

So you can see the netboot image in the startup disk control panel?

I presume if you see it you are on the same subnet as its discovery does not extend across subnets without a lot of help! But to ask the question: You are on the same subnet?

If you are getting the spinning world it certainly looks like the boot process is starting to work.

How did you make the netboot image?
