Re: Netrestore or similar for Bondi iMacs

Hi Warren,
I've been imaging our tray-loading iMacs using os 9's ASR, the old fashioned way, on a bootable OS 9 CD created with Roxio Toast 5. This has worked very well for us, though it's not as quick to set up as NetRestore and CCC, it's deployment is nearly as easy if you make lots of CDs and don't have a huge image to deploy. If you had a huge image, you could probably include a USB driver for an external HD, and boot off the CD. I don't think you can boot off of USB on those.
The OS 9 ASR procedure is explained in complete detail at:

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
