4 Setting Up Clients to Use NetBoot

and Network Install

This chapter describes how to set up client computers to start

up from or install software from images on a server.

Setting Up Diskless Clients

NetBoot makes it possible to configure client computers without locally installed

operating systems or even without any installed disk drives. “System-less” or diskless

clients can start up from a NetBoot server using the N key method. (See “Starting Up

Using the N Key” on page 52.)

After the client computer has started up, you can use the Startup Disk preference pane

to select the NetBoot disk image as the startup disk for the client. That way you no

longer need to use the N key method to start up the client from the server.

Removing the system software from client computers gives you additional control over

users’ environments. By forcing the client to boot from the server and using client

management to deny access to the client computer’s local hard disk, you can prevent

users from saving files to the local hard disk.

Selecting a NetBoot Boot 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 NetBoot boot image.

To select a NetBoot startup 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, and then the computer starts up from the selected image.
