Netboot fail: Client does not boot off netboot server..tried everything!

Hi All,


I have literarily tried and tested everything I can find on the WWW.


Client fails to boot from any image I create. Client does get an IP address and Netboot service seems to acknowledge the client. But after the proper BSDP exchange client does not boot from the netinstall image.


I have tried this amazing troubleshooting page:

http://www.afp548.com/netboot/mactips/netboot.html


I am using DeployedStudio. Which seems amazing if my Netboot service works.


I have verified my tftp and it works as I can get files from the server using tftp. AFP is up and running all folders for NetBoot are been shared properly (as far as I can tell).


I have updated Server Admin and Snow Leopard Server.


EVERYTHING LOOKS OK BUT IT IS NOT WORKING... HELP! User uploaded file
