I didn't make it to Macworld and I haven't heard any talk about
this but
since I'm involved with a large netboot situation I was wondering
if anyone
had heard anything about netbooting the new Intel Macs?
I'm thinking it's going to require some kind of changes and I just
want to
be ready for them (I'm sure everyone else wants to be ready too).
So if you have any info please let me know.
Thanks,

10.4.4 Server includes an updated System Image Utility - you will
need to maintain separate images for Power PC and Intel. Eric Zelenka

=======================
The new Intel-based Macs use a next generation pre-boot technology
developed by Intel called EFI. EFI provides a superior booting
experience and includes features such as a larger ROM, richer
graphics support, full IP stack, dynamic boot volume picker, quicker
startup times and even some cool feature such as the ability to an
Apple Remote to remotely control boot options.
One of the benefits of EFI is dramatically faster boot times for
NetBoot systems. Our internal tests show that in most situations
booting of an Intel-based Mac is 2-3 times faster than the older Open
Firmware-based systems.
To NetBoot or NetInstall an Intel-based Mac you need to deploy Mac OS
X Server v10.4.4. Mac OS X Server v10.4.4 includes an updated System
Image Utility for creating NetBoot and NetInstall images of Intel-
based Macs. Separate disk images are required for PowerPC-based
Macintosh computers and Intel-based Macintosh computers.
