52 Chapter 4 Setting Up Clients to Use NetBoot and Network Install

Selecting a Network Install Image

If your computer is running Mac OS X version 10.2 or later, you use the Startup Disk

System Preferences pane to select a network install image.

To select an install image from Mac OS X:

1 In System Preferences select the Startup Disk pane.

2 Select the network disk image you want to use to start up the computer.

3 Click Restart.

The NetBoot icon appears, the computer starts up from the selected image, and the

installer runs.

Starting Up Using the N Key

You can use this method to start up any supported client computer from a NetBoot

disk image. When you start up with the N key, the client computer starts up from the

default NetBoot disk image. (If multiple servers are present, then the client starts up

from the default image of the first server to respond.)

Note: See the manual that came with the computer for additional information about

using the N key when starting the system. Some computers have additional

capabilities.

If you have an older client computer that requires BootP for IP addressing (a tray-

loading iMac, blue and white PowerMac G3, or older computer), you must use this

method for starting up from a NetBoot disk image. Older computers don’t support

selecting a NetBoot startup disk image from the Startup Disk control panel or

preferences pane.

The N key also provides a way to start up client computers that don’t have system

software installed. See “Setting Up Diskless Clients” on page 51.

To start up from a NetBoot disk image using the N key:

1 Turn on (or restart) the client computer while holding the N key down on the keyboard.

Hold the N key down until the NetBoot icon appears in the center of the screen.

2 If a login window appears, enter your name and password.

The network disk image has an icon typical of server volumes.
