Re: Netrestore or similar for Bondi iMacs

My co-worker figured this one out:

NetBoot is also an option. If you have good networking (100Mbit or better), this may be preferred for managing multiple images in a lab. You can configure an unlimited number of images in Apple OS X Server. Net booting on older machines may be difficult. You should remember to have current firmware on all old machines. I was able to get everything with a G4 processor to Netboot. G3 based machines require the older version of Netboot, which you can enable, but is not enabled by default. Instructions for this can be found here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107902

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the help on my last query btw. I have got Netrestore working well with the eMacs in my lab, but I would like to do something similar with our Rev A Bondi iMacs. the System Image documentation for Panther Server says on page 14 that tray loading imacs and blue and white G3's are not supported for Netbooting because they need older versions of the firmware. Does this mean that I should just settle for doing these machines via a usb hard drive? or is there a way I can achieve imaging those machines via ethernet somehow?

Many thanks
