I have a classroom full of iMac G5 (Tiger) computers being served by
a G4 Xserve (Tiger Server). I wanted to use the Netboot install
image method of setting them up. I used the System Image Utility on
the server to create an image of an already-set-up-the-way-I-wanted-
it iMac in firewire target disk mode. When I boot the other iMacs,
they get to the apple with spinning swirly and stop.
Some tcpdump analysis seems to show that it got the 'booter', kernel
and kernel extensions file, but stops there. Is it bad to use the G4
to make images for a G5? I figured it didn't matter since it's just
grabbing everything off of the hard disk.
