We have almost exclusively Linux servers at our school. We use ISC
DHCPd and it works very well for NetBoot/Install using the lines
bellow:

class "AppleNBI-i386" {
    match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 14) =
"AAPLBSDPC/i386";
    option dhcp-parameter-request-list 1,3,17,43,60;
    if (option dhcp-message-type = 1) { option vendor-class-identifier
"AAPLBSDPC/i386"; }
    if (option dhcp-message-type = 1) { option
vendor-encapsulated-options 08:04:81:00:00:67; }
    next-server 10.0.2.36;
}

An example host declaration:

host example {
                        filename "mac/10.6.3-retail/booter";
                        option root-path
"http://10.0.2.36:8081/10.6.3-Retail.dmg";;
                        hardware ethernet 00:1B:63:B7:46:B3;
                        fixed-address 10.2.10.9;
                        }

You may also like use a removable hard drive (pref. Firewire 800 for
speed) to restore an image. There are a few interesting ways this can
be done. Just say, if this is something you're interesting in doing.
